IDEA Software and Support - Updated Form OIG Justification and Approval _Redacted.pdf
Mar 19, 2025, 10:06 PM UTC
The document outlines a Justification and Approval for Procurement Action by the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Inspector General (OIG) regarding the acquisition of CaseWare IDEA software licenses and technical support. The procurement is justified as other than full and open competition due to the unique proprietary nature of the software essential for conducting financial data analysis audits. The previous contract for this software expired on September 30, 2022, prompting the need for a new procurement action. Despite attempts to solicit bids from various vendors through the NASA SEWP GWAC portal, the OIG found that only CaseWare could provide the necessary software and support, as it is proprietary. Efforts to enhance competition included market research requests, but no viable alternatives surfaced. The document indicates that the planned contract will ensure fair pricing based on previous awards. The Justification reinforces that only CaseWare can satisfactorily meet the specific needs related to financial audits required by the OIG. Future procurement of this software is not anticipated, indicating a reliance on this proprietary source for necessitated audit functions.
