Brand Name Justification: HQ AFRS has a need to purchase MKS (Mortice Kern Systems) Integrity Software in support of the Air Force Recruiting Information Support System-Legacy (AFRISS-L) maintenance and Air Force Recruiting Information Support System-Total Force (AFRISS-TF) development, for use in configuration management (CM) practices. The software will provide configuration managers the capability to enforce access control on source code files as well as enhance efficiency of software releases. This software represents a critical control method for over 10K files which comprise the AFRISS system, and enable configuration managers the ability to ensure source code files do not become corrupted or comprised due to unauthorized access or duplicate files. The software also allows configuration managers to "roll back" to a previous version of a file if a newer version is released to the production server and is found to contain errors that result in a work stoppage for recruiters. AFRS/RSIX has been using MKS Integrity for seven years in this capacity and require re-purchase of the software licenses and agreements for continued use into FY14.
