- Description
- The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) intends to award a sole source contract to A10 Networks to provide four load balancers and installation / configuration services for access to web based applications. The Contractor shall provide four (4) AX500-010 load balancers, installation, configuration and 1-year, 24x7 technical support. USDA NASS is building out application services in an effort to improve end user experiences while reducing rack space and power consumption. The purchase of more Application Delivery Controllers will enable NASS to increase the number of applications which are load balanced, move to Global Server Load Balancing between disparate geographical locations, and improve server and application performance by performing SSL offload, L3 routing, IPV6 translation and DNS services on the Application Delivery Controller. Because NASS will offer load balancing to other user groups as a service; these functions need to be done in a standardized way, adhering to US Government standards and certifications. A10 Networks is the only contractor that can meet NASS's requirements for load balancers and services within the specifications given. The anticipated award date of this contract is April 14, 2012. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTES. This notice is for informational purposes only and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government. Potential sources who believe they can provide the services listed above are invited to submit substantiating documentation in writing to the identified point of contact. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. A determination by the Government to compete this proposed contract based on responses to this notice is solely at the discretion of the Government.
