- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional ifnormation included in this notice. The accouncement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. (i) Solicitation FA2517-08-T-6168 is issued as a request for proposal (RFQ). (ii) This solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-26. (iii) The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 541511, and the size standard is $18.0 million. This requirement is set-aside for small business. (iv) Requirement is to provide NetApp Professional Services to expand and upgrade network storage (Model# FAS270)-Brand Name or equal. To be considered for award, offers of "equal" products, including "equal" products of the brand name manufacturer, must meet the salient characteristics listed in this attachment and must be identified by brand name (if any) and make or model number. Service requires upgrade and installation of software at eight geographically separated units. Additional details are outlined in the attached performance work statement. IAW Memorandum for Chief Acquisition Officer, Chief Information Officers, Senior Procurement Executives entitled "Use of Brand Name Specifications" dated April 11, 2005 the Brand Name Letter will be published with the solicitation through the Government Point of Entry. a. Network General Products are the current standard for Network Storage and Backup System for our Enterprise. There are other products and manufacturers that provide this capability; however, Network Appliance provides the complete package that is currently utilized throughout the Enterprise. Network Appliance Products will provide the most stable Storage and Backup environment with the continued lowest cost of ownership based on our initial investment. Changing to a new Storage and Backup system would result in significant duplication of costs. In addition, this would result in two dissimilar systems existing on the network, potentially causing network interface problems. Further, with regard to technical support, should multiple companies exist, the company technicians will not address system faults and failures with a similar system existing on the network. Multiple systems and companies could possibly result in catastrophic network failure, loss of data, and mission degradation if neither system performed appropriately. In addition, the network failure could further cause the Government to incur costs to manually recover data. The lost data may not be recoverable depending on the severity of the incident. Again, if two similar systems are at work on the network, technical support would not be available, as neither would support the other's devices and software. (v) The following provisions and clauses apply to this acquisition: The provision at FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors-Commercial Items (Jun2008).
