- Description
- RFQ DHQCNT04MP60026 AMENDMENT 0001 is issued to provide responses to vendor questions. RFQ DHQCNT04MP60026 AMENDMENT 0001 is also posted to the DITCO Contracting Opportunities Web Page: https://www.ditco.disa.mil/dcop/Public/ASP/ requirement.asp?req_no=DHQCNT04MP60026 QUESTION 1: Will Linux operating system be considered? RESPONSE: The following linux platforms can be used to host the remote management solution. It is also a requirement for the solution to remotely manage these linux platforms: Red Hat Version 8.0 & 9.0, Red Hat Enterprise edition and Suse Version 9.1. QUESTION 2: I realize the RFQ states "mainframe". Is IBM pSeries a possible solution? RESPONSE: The solution can run on the pSeries platform if required. However, the solution must support console message management of the mainframe environment. QUESTION 3: Who is the incumbent? RESPONSE: None. QUESTION 4: Is this a new requirement? RESPONSE: Yes. QUESTION 5: Is an extension of the due date possible? RESPONSE: The Government has a short lead time for this requirement; therefore, the quote due date will remain Friday, 24 Sep 04, 12:00 Noon. QUESTION 6: Vendors are required to list the hardware required by DISA to operate the solution. Vendors will be responsible for providing the total number of hardware components required to support their solution in 3 mainframe centers. The centers include Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania; Ogden, Utah; and St. Louis, Missouri. These three sites will be managed centrally from Montgomery, Alabama with a backup site in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. I still am not sure what the requirement is. It says support their solution in 3 datacenters, but then follows with the three sites will be managed centrally from Montgomery and a backup in Oklahoma. So, is it 3, 2 or 5? RESPONSE: The vendor solution must allow DISA to remotely manage the three mainframe sites at Mechanicsburg, Ogden, and St. Louis from Mongomery and Oklahoma City. QUESTION 7: On 5.3.1.5 are they looking for the solution to provide the security layer or to interface with a security product allowing role base security? RESPONSE: As stated in requirements 5.3.1.5 the solutions should have role based security capabilities. This is rated as a Highly relevant requirement. End of RFQ DHQCNT04MP60025 AMENDMENT 0001.
