(j) Background information about the requirement:
ICE has a requirement for continued software license maintenance for its existing data quality,
address validation, and cloud-based integration tools. These tools are necessary to support the
ICE Student & Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS), Fleet Home, and Financial
Systems Modernization (FSM) programs in managing and maintaining their workflows, data
quality, and address validations. These applications are essential for meeting ICE mission
support objectives and serving its customers.
3. Description of Supplies/Services.
(a) The Government has a requirement for an enterprise-grade data integration and management
solution, including software licenses, specialized modules, and ongoing technical support. The
licensing covers advanced features such as data quality, governance, master data management,
address validation, and secure cloud integration, with modules supporting identity matching
and data exploration. Technical support ensures proper setup, maintenance, troubleshooting,
and regular updates. These resources enable OCFO to efficiently manage, analyze, and report
on financial and operational data, supporting both on-premises and FedRAMP-compliant
cloud environments.
(b) The period of performance will consist of one base period with no optional periods estimated

4. Statutory Exception and Rationale.
Exception:
The specific exception for providing for brand-name awards under multiple award contracts is
RFO FAR Subpart 16.507-7(a). An item peculiar to one manufacturer can be a particular brand-
name, product, or a feature of a product peculiar to one manufacturer. A brand-name item, even
if available on more than one contract, is an item peculiar to one manufacturer. Brand-name
specifications must not be used unless the particular brand-name, product, or feature is essential to
the Government’s requirements and market research indicates other companies’ similar products,
or products lacking the particular feature, do not meet, or cannot be modified to meet, the agency’s
needs.
