This announcement constitutes the only RFQ; said hardware maintenance is to be purchased for Fleet Numerical Meteorology & Oceanography Center (Fleet Numerical) located in Monterey, CA. NAVICP Mechanicsburg intends to procure Perpetual Site Licenses for Platform MPI software; see attached spreadsheet for specifics. Period of performance is for one year with two 1-year options. Brand name equivalent is not acceptable. SUBSTITUTES WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED. The NAICS associated with this purchase is 511210, Software Publishers. To be considered for award, vendors must be AUTHORIZED Platform MPI resellers/distributors. Vendors must quote ALL items to be considered for award. QUOTES MUST BE VALID FOR 30 DAYS. A firm fixed price purchase order(s) will be issued based on the lowest priced technically acceptable quote. Offerors should provide Remit To address, if applicable. All responsible sources may submit a quotation for consideration. Quotes must be emailed to NAVICP Code 0271 at Amanda.goddard@navy.mil. All quotes are due by 9:00 AM Eastern, 21 September 2010. For further information regarding this RFQ, contact Amanda Goddard, Contract Specialist @ phone: (717) 605-1986. All technical support must be provided by U.S. based support personnel. The following FAR / DFAR provisions and clauses apply: 52.204-7, Required Central Contractor Registration (Apr 08) 252.232-7003 Electronic Submission of Payment Requests And Receiving Reports (Mar 2008) 52.232-18 Availability of Funds (Apr 1984) oFunds are not presently available for this contract. The Government s obligation under this contract is contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds from which payment for contract purposes can be made. No legal liability on the part of the Government for any payment may arise until funds are made available to the Contracting Officer for this contract and until the Contractor receives notice of such availability, to be confirmed in writing by the Contracting Officer. Brand Name Posting information: This software is currently being used on the systems at FNMOC. These purchases are to augment the current number of licenses for this software. Current on-site expertise and training are based on this software. Other forms of this software would require replacement of all existing licenses. Other software would require extensive developer training to use the new software as well as regression testing on the Linux clusters to ensure compatibility with existing Operational commitments. Fleet Numerical operates High Performance Computing equipment and networks to produce meteorological and oceanographic forecasts used by warfighters world-wide. The systems are valued at over $10 million and support all classifications of networks. We get 25-40% faster performance running with Platform MPI than with alternative capabilities such as Open Source OpenMPI. That improvement translates into at least $2.5 million in computing cycles, and as much as $4.0 million. The cost avoidance of using the Platform MPI is clearly in the best interests of the Navy, DOD, and taxpayers.
