    The document is a justification and approval for an acquisition by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) for Tetrate-Istio software, which is crucial for the DevSecOps operations. The need for this procurement stems from the unique capabilities of the Tetrate-Istio product that include compliance with Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) and service mesh functionalities. A Firm-Fixed Price contract worth $45,000 is anticipated for a one-year subscription starting September 29, 2024, financed through FY25 funds. The justification cites statutory authority under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) for limiting competition solely to Tetrate.io as no other licensor can provide a comparable product without compromising security standards. Market research confirms that Tetrate.io offers the only solution that meets DLA's specific requirements to avoid operational risks and maintain compliance with DoD mandates. The certification from the management and contracting officials affirms the accuracy and completeness of this acquisition process, underlining a commitment to maintaining standards through the use of proprietary software essential for national defense operations.
