Description: This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for Brand Name commercial items in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6 Streamlined Procedures for Evaluation and Solicitation for Commercial Items. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; a fixed price quotation is requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number is NAMA-09-Q-0032 and is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-29, effective January 19, 2009 & 2005-30, effective 15 Jan 2009. This is a Brand Name requirement and the Justification and Approval required by FAR 6.302-1(c), Application for Brand Name descriptions, has been executed. This is a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS 611420 with a size standard of $7.0 million. The Government reserves the right to issue an order following evaluation of initial quotes without discussions. Evaluation and order issuance will be in accordance with the procedures of FAR Subpart 13.106, Soliciting Competition, Evaluation of Quotations or Offers, Award and Documentation. An order will be issued to the vendor whose conforming quotation in response to the RFQ will be most advantageous to the Government. Best value for this order will be obtained through a lowest priced technically acceptable evaluation. BACKGROUND: The National Archives and Records Administration’s (NARA) Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum possesses an entire digital collection of papers, documents, photographs and audio recordings of President John F. Kennedy. This is made possible by the Digital Asset Management System which is housed in two separate equipment racks; Centera storage system (rack one) and Clariion system (rack two). The software systems running the Clariion and Centera systems include: Application Xtender, Web Xtender, and Disk Xtender which are proprietary to the EMC Software Group. An upgrade of the existing EMC software systems is scheduled for spring 2009. The two newly assigned archivists to this project require on-line training on this software as well as on-line training on the pre-existing EMC hardware. Due to the proprietary nature of the hardware/software it has been determined that only EMC or one of its partner companies can provide the aforementioned required on-line training. This on-line training includes; Technical Fundamentals of Documentum, System Administration for Documentum- Fundamentals and Captiva: InputAccel Fundamentals & Administration. For more information on the requested on-line training please see Attachment 1.
