Data at Rest Solutions BPAs offered through ESI/SmartBuy

The Office of Management and Budget, Defense Department and General Services Administration awarded multiple contracts for blanket purchase agreements (BPA) to protect sensitive, unclassified data residing on government laptops, other mobile computing devices and removable storage media devices.

These competitively awarded BPAs provide three categories of software and hardware encryption products--full disk encryption (FDE), file encryption (FES) and integrated FDE/FES products. All products use cryptographic modules validated under FIPS 140-2 security requirements and have met stringent technical and interoperability requirements.

Licenses are transferable within a federal agency and include secondary use rights. All awarded BPA prices are as low as or lower than the prices each vendor has available on GSA schedules. The federal government anticipates significant savings through these BPAs. The BPAs were awarded under both the DoD's Enterprise Software Initiative (ESI) and GSA's government wide SmartBUY programs, making them available to all U.S. executive agencies, independent establishments, DoD components, NATO, state and local agencies, foreign military sales (FMS) with written authorization, and contractors authorized to order in accordance with the FAR Part 51.

Service component chief information officers (CIO) are currently developing component service-specific enterprise strategies. Accordingly, customers should check with their CIO for component-specific policies and strategies before procuring a DAR solution. The Department of the Navy, Army and Air Force will be releasing service-specific DAR guidance for their personnel to follow. Go to the ESI Web site at www.esi.mil for more information.

As of press time, DoD users are not authorized to purchase DAR software because service-specific guidance has not been issued. DON users are not authorized to purchase a DAR solution until the DON CIO has issued an enterprise solution for purchasing DAR software.
