    The document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) form from the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) for a single-source procurement related to the maintenance of the Forescout Counteract security appliance and software. The request seeks to renew annual software maintenance, updates, and technical support for this essential security solution, which is vital for the protection of the Commission's internal networks. Due to the existing trained staff's expertise and the potential disruption and costs associated with switching to a different product, the justification emphasizes that this maintenance must be acquired directly from Forescout or its authorized resellers. The document includes certifications from both the requiring officer and the contracting officer, ensuring the accuracy and necessity of the procurement. Market research indicated that while Forescout support can be procured from various authorized resellers, the specific requirement for maintenance ties it directly to Forescout solutions. This procurement aligns with federal guidelines on limited competition and underscores continuity in the Commission's cybersecurity defenses.
