- Description
- DLA Information Operations, New Cumberland, PA has a requirement for Enterasys hardware and support. Delivery will be required to DLA Distribution, New Cumberland, PA. P/Ns and quantities will be provided as part of the solicitation/Request for Proposals (RFP). It has been determined that only Enterasys hardware and support will meet the Government's requirements. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. In accordance with FAR 6.302-1 and FAR 5.102(a)(6), the brand name justification is as follows: DLA Information Operations New Cumberland utilizes Enterasys brand name hardware for all of the switching needs and the majority of the networking needs of the organization. Enterasys is the actual manufacturer of the network equipment which is proprietary in nature. As such, Enterasys maintains exclusive rights to all products and services. In addition, maintenance support of the Enterasys brand name equipment must be performed either by Enterasys or an Enterasys Authorized Support Partner. It is essential that the Enterasys products be utilized to provide for proper maintenance of the systems. Selection of any other hardware/software would deviate from the equipment standards used within DLA Information Operations New Cumberland. Deviation from this solution would invalidate our security posture. To date, DLA Information Operations New Cumberland has not found any other vendor that has the capability to integrate itself with this proprietary solution. The Government intends to issue a RFP, SP3300-12-R-0042 in accordance with FAR Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items, in conjunction with FAR Part 15, Contracting by Negotiation. Award of a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) commercial contract on an all or none basis will be made to the responsible offeror whose proposal constitutes the best value to the Government using Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation procedures. This acquisition will be competed as a total 100% Small Business set-aside among certified resellers of Enterasys equipment. The associated NAICS code is 334210, and the associated small business size standard is 1,000 employees. This solicitation includes DLAD provision 52.215-9023, Reverse Auction. Since a reverse auction may be conducted, offerors are encouraged to access the Ariba system and review the Reverse Auction tutorials at https://service.ariba.com/Supplier.aw to learn how to participate in an auction. All interested and responsible parties may submit a proposal in response to the solicitation that will be considered by DLA Distribution. The Solicitation Number is SP3300-12-R-0042, and it is anticipated to be posted to the Federal Business Opportunities Website on or about 6 August 2012.
