- Description
- THIS IS A COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION FOR COMMERCIAL ITEMS PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FORMAT IN FAR SUBPART 12.6-STREAMLINED PROCEDURES FOR EVALUATION AND SOLICITATION FOR COMMERCIAL ITEMS-AS SUPPLEMENTED WITH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION INCLUDED IN THIS NOTICE. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY SOLICITATION; QUOTATIONS ARE BEING REQUESTED, AND A WRITTEN SOLICITATION DOCUMENT WILL NOT BE ISSUED. This solicitation is a Request for Proposal (RFP) for commercial items. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAR) 2005-59. The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 541519 including Exception 2 for value added resellers. The small business size standard is 150 employees. This acquisition is 100% set-aside for small business. This solicitation is being procured using procedures set forth in FAR Subpart 15, Contracting by Negotiation. This is a brand name only requirement. Quoters must provide the brand name equipment identified within the line items. This procurement is being undertaken to meet and fully satisfy the requirement, as directed by the Department of Commerce (DOC) Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and the DOC Chief Information Officer (CIO), to migrate the Commerce Business System (CBS) to the Sun/Oracle computing platform. This mandatory computing platform will serve as the interim CBS environment until the final configuration for the CBS Next Generation computing environment is decided upon and implemented. Purchase of this equipment is essential for NIST to implement the Department of Commerce Next Generation Operating System (O/S) Initiative. Within NIST, the OFRM/Business Systems Division is working together with the Office of Information Systems Management (OISM) to implement this initiative. The Business Systems Division provides support (customer relations, help desk, training, software development, testing) for the Commerce Business Systems used by NIST and customer bureaus. OISM provides the technical support (database administrators, hardware engineers, system administrators) to host the Commerce Business Systems on Oracle 10g platform environments on the NIST campus. The mission of the Department of Commerce Next Generation Operating System (O/S) Initiative is to determine new next generation O/S platform that will be implemented and will be best fitted to be coupled with the Oracle 10g platform environments that exist at NIST, NOAA, and Census to host the Commerce Business Systems. The next generation O/S initiative mission also includes the next generation hardware acquisition strategy, procurement and installation. The overall goals of this initiative were to: 1. Determine the new O/S that will be implemented; 2. Determine what O/S is the best fit to be coupled with the Oracle 10g platform and beyond; 3. Perform acquisition strategy, procurement and installation; and 4. Implement & deploy new hardware and operating system. The Department's Next Generation Operating System Initiative included a process to evaluate multiple operating system options against business drivers using the DAR methodology. The Sun SPARC architecture was selected. Using a different brand of equipment would compromise the Department of Commerce's initiatives to migrate the Commerce Business System to the Sun/Oracle computing platform.
