- Description
- THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT, NOT A REQUEST FOR A PROPOSAL. A SOLICITATION DOCUMENT WILL NOT BE ISSUED AND PROPOSALS WILL NOT BE REQUESTED. It is the intent of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) for the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), to negotiate/award a purchase order to Atempo Americas, 2465 E Bayshore Rd. Suite 400, Palo Alto, CA 94303-3228 for the purchase and maintenance of Tempo Live backup for Windows and MAC. NHGRI has deployed a wide-range of servers and desktops, including these MAC servers, laptops, and desktops. The MAC platform is running proprietary software that cannot be easily ported to other platforms, and are necessary to support the goals of the institute. To ensure the continued success of NHGRI, it is necessary to purchase the additional drives to expand the capabilities of our backups for our MAC platform. This renewal is necessary to provide and protect the data files on NHGRI’s Macintosh platform and scientific workstations. This service will also allow staff members to contact the manufacturer with technical issues and ensure that NHGRI has access to latest technology to protect the network environment from vulnerabilities. Atempo is currently providing licensing and maintenance service to NHGRI. Remaining with this vendor would maintain the continuity of ongoing research being conducted in various studies. Changing vendors at this time would jeopardize the investments already made by the Government This acquisition is being conducted under FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, and is exempt from the requirements of FAR Part 6, Competition Requirements. The North American Industry Classification (NAICS) Code is 511210 and the Size Standard is $25 Million. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals.
