Short answer - there isn't any made by HP. This gets aksed a lot on the HP forums - here is athread with a lot of suggestions, including using ignite. In reality, if you are being audited by DOD, you have to have proof you used software they approve, which means you would not be asking this question to start with.

If you have a DOD contract you'd better get the white paper mentioned in the attached thread.
