- Description
- This sources sought notice is issued for information and planning purposes only. This announcement is not a Request for Proposals (RFP) and does not commit the Government to solicit or award a contract now or in the future. No solicitation is available at this time. The purpose of this notice is to conduct market research and to invite potential sources to submit detailed capability statements for the work described in this synopsis announcement. Background: The U.S. Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO), Enterprise Systems Division (ESD) is responsible for providing system administration for all enterprise servers and scientific computing systems for NIST. ESD must ensure the capability to maintain critical business functions and restore normal operations in the event of a disruption or interruption to automated information system or network services. NIST's current disaster recovery program includes several key components - - (1) regularly scheduled system backups and off-site storage of magnetic tape media; (2) use of a commercial hot site vendor's alternate sites and systems to conduct regular test exercises and recover designated critical systems at time of emergency; and (3) use of an automated disaster recovery planning software tool to maintain a disaster recovery plan. Information Requested: NIST seeks to identify sources with the capabilities to work with ESD to develop alternate site planning and preparations for the protection of those systems deemed critical by NIST management. The anticipated solution will require a Contractor to: • Be scalable and flexible to meet the agency needs and accomplish those in a cost effective manner • Include hot site capabilities and the ability to process backups and interfaces between NIST's Gaithersburg, MD and Boulder, CO sites. Sources that have recent and relevant experience as a prime contractor in the aforementioned areas are encouraged to respond to this notice with a detailed capability statement of a maximum of ten (10) pages. The written response must include the following: 1. Your company name, address, phone number, and phone number and email address(es) for point(s) of contact. 2. Detailed description of disaster recovery services performed by your company as a prime Contractor within the past 5 years. These services could be for any organization, but should only address large customers with large amounts of data that must be protected. Include contract/order number, period of performance, and total dollar amount of the contract/order and customer point(s) of contact (name, phone number, email address). 3. Size of your company in terms of annual revenue in FY 2009 and total current number of employees. If your company is a subsidiary of another company, list the total revenue and number of employees for the parent organization and all subsidiaries. If your company is an 8(a) concern, a HUBZone small business concern or a Service-Disabled, Veteran-Owned Small Business under NAICS 541519 (size standard $25.0 million), please also indicate same. 4. If your company has its own GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract that includes disaster recovery services in its scope, provide a copy of that contract (including labor categories, rates, and terms and conditions). Mere expressions of interest without providing the above requested details will not be considered a valid response to this notice All responses to this notice should be emailed to Divya Soni at divya.soni@nist.gov with a copy to joseph.widdup@nist.gov so that they are received at those email addresses no later than the response date for this notice.
