- Description
- The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Technology Acquisition Center (TAC), intends to enter into a contract for Legacy Tape Storage and Restoration. VA Office of Information and Technology (OI&T), Information Technology Operations and Service, Solution Delivery, Enterprise Messaging and Collaboration Services (EMCS) strives to provide high quality, effective, and efficient information technology (IT) services to those responsible for providing care to the Veterans at the point-of-care as well as throughout all the points of the Veterans health care in an effective, timely, and compassionate manner. VA depends on Information Management/Information Technology (IM/IT) systems to meet mission goals. OI&T is currently transitioning to a new tapeless Enterprise Messaging platform from the current environment of Microsoft Exchange 2003 and 2007. The current Microsoft Exchange 2003/2007 Outlook backups were written on Linear Tape-Open (LTO2 and LTO4) tapes via four backup environments including IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Mail (TSM), EMC Corporation Software Technologies (Legato and Networker), Symantec Net Backup and Windows Integrated. VA will be retiring all old hardware to include backup servers and tape libraries. The data currently on the LTO tapes must be retained. This project is to support the storage of 60,000 backup tapes, database maintenance and database restoration from these legacy backup tapes on an as needed basis when mailbox restores are required. EMCS has a continuing requirement to store backup media of all OI&T IM/IT systems off-site to preserve its integrity and to prevent damage from fire, water or accidental erasure. There is also a continuing requirement (referred to as the Litigation Hold Memo), to store all backup tapes for litigation purposes. VA has a continued need for additional off-site physical storage space and transportation services for storing backup media and media subjected to litigation and the requirements of VA s Litigation Hold Memo. This acquisition will be conducted as a full and open competition on the Federal Business Opportunities website. The North American Industrial Classification (NAICS) for this effort is 541614 with a corresponding small business size standard of $15M average annual revenue. The resultant 12-month contract will be firm fixed price and will include four 12-month option periods for continued tape storage and restoration. Award will be made to the lowest priced, technically acceptable proposal. The VA intends to release a Request for Proposal on or about August 25, 2017. The estimated date of award for this action is September 22, 2017. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals; however, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement in response to this notification which shall be considered by the agency. The Points of Contact (POCs) for this action are Kimberly Flynn, Contract Specialist, Kimberly.Flynn1@va.gov and Carol Newcomb, Contracting Officer, Carol.Newcomb@va.gov.
