DEFENSE INFORMATION SYSTEMS AGENCY (DISA) COMPUTING SERVICES LOGISTICS JUSTIFICATION AND APPROVAL TO PROCURE USING OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION BRAND NAME: Cisco Equipment Upon the basis of the following justification, I, as Contracting Officer, hereby approve the use of other than full and open competition for the proposed contractual action pursuant to the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), FAR 6.302-1(c), Application for Brand Name Description. 1. Agency and Contracting Activity The requiring activity for this action is Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, ATTN: IMD CMR 402, APO AE 09180. The contracting activity is DISA/DITCO Europe, Building 143, 67681 Sembach-Heuberg, Germany. 2. Nature/Description of Action Requirement is for the purchase of Cisco wireless devices for the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center (LRMC) network fabric. 3. Description of Supplies/Services CISCO network equipment such as wireless LANs, antennas, line cords, WLAN controllers, and Crypto client licenses. 4. Identification of Statutory Authority 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), FAR 6.302-1(c), Application for Brand Name Description. 5. Demonstration of Contractor?s Unique Qualifications. This equipment purchase is part of an ongoing LRMC Wireless upgrade program and will be an extension of previously purchased and installed equipment. CISCO products are required to ensure consistency in the design, continuity of training, ease of use, and interoperability. In addition, LRMC network architecture is supported by the Tri-Service Infrastructure Management Program Office (TIMPO). Cisco equipment is supported within the TIMPO sparing and maintenance inventory program for providing replacements and support world wide to MHS facilities. Current LRMC inventory investment of Cisco equipment is over 1.2 million dollars and totals over 250 devices. The LRMC site is 100% Cisco switches, routers and network equipment to provide component inter-operability. LRMC is currently running a Cisco proprietary VLAN protocol on the Cisco equipment, Non Cisco equipment will not inter-operate correctly with LRMC's current implementation of the VLAN protocol. Additionally, Cisco equipment meets DoD FIPS 140-2 certification requirements. All tools for management and managing equipment are specifically designed to support Cisco devices. Site personnel and system administrators are trained exclusively on Cisco equipment. Re-training of site personnel is cost prohibitive and is not justifiable. Continued purchase of Cisco equipment will save the European region over $30,000 dollars in re-training cost on new equipment. If LRMC receives non Cisco equipment, devices will not function or inter-op properly with current Cisco equipment and have the potential to sit idle as they will not furnish the site with the equipment required to provide continued health care to service men and women. 6. FedBizOpps Announcement/Potential Sources A combined synopsis/solicitation will be released to FEDBIZOPPS. 7. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Price Price reasonableness will be determined based upon competition. 8. Description of Market Research Market research indicates there are multiple resellers of CISCO equipment. Research found the following companies: InterNetwork Experts, 1955 Lakeway Dr. Ste 220, Lewisville, TX 75057, 469-549-3937, Contract Vehicle BPA W91RUS-05-A-0006 World Wide Technology, NAS5-02144, 60 Weldon Parkway, Saint Louis, MO 63043, 314-919-1431 The research that produced the overarching solution for the LRMC upgrade program included an evaluation of multiple technologies and equipment manufacturers. These included CISCO, Acorn, NET, Marconi, Carrier Access, Nortel Networks, and Timplex to name a few. The evaluation considered the personal experiences of site personnel, a review of product documentation obtained from the web, vendor provided demonstrations and product documentation, a review of currently fielded equipment, and a review of GSA schedule and retail pricing lists. Based on the evaluations, an equipment suite was chosen based on capabilities, integration, and price. This solution included the selection of the CISCO switch product line as the facility core layer, distribution layer and access layer switches. 9. Supporting Facts This brand name of equipment is requested to maintain uniformity, common troubleshooting and maintenance techniques, a standardized training program and economy of resources across the LRMC area. 10. Listing of Interested sources: Any reseller or wholesaler of these products will be eligible to compete such as: InterNetwork Experts, 1955 Lakeway Dr. Ste 220, Lewisville, TX 75057, 469-549-3937, Contract Vehicle BPA W91RUS-05-A-0006 World Wide Technology, NAS5-02144, 60 Weldon Parkway, Saint Louis, MO 63043, 314-919-1431 11. Actions taken to remove barriers to competition: None. Market research determined there are resellers of these products. 12. Statement of Period of Performance and/or Delivery Schedule The Government anticipates a 30-day delivery period after contractor?s receipt of order. 13. Reference to Approved Acquisition Plan (AP) Not applicable. 14. Section 508 Compliance Required Section 508 documentation has been provided. BRAND NAME DOCUMENTATION: Netflow Tracker from Crannog Software (For Under $100K) 1. Identify the activity acquiring the product or service and the geographical area. The Landstuhl Regional Medical Center (LRMC), Information Management Division, located in Landstuhl Germany. 2. Describe the supplies and/or services being procured. Netflow Tracker from Crannog-software company. The manufacture part numbers are NFTM 10000, Netflow Tracker ? 5 Devices Annual and NFT 1000, Netflow Tracker ? 5 Devices Annual. 3. Provide the rationale, supporting the limited sources acquisition. Justify the use of limited sources due to Brand Name. This software provides real time monitoring of Netflow data, harnessing flow information from Cisco IOS NetFlow and IPFIX, J-FLow, cflowd and sFlow, providing the LRMC network managers detailed network traffic information without the use of probes or additional appliances. Crannog software is the sole provider of Crannog Netflow Tracker and is based on the windows OS platform. Most other vendors utilize Unix or a Linux derivative and LRMC does not currently or plan to have Unix/Linux system administrators. It is not cost effective to hire and retain a Unix system administrator for one application, as all other LRMC applications that we support are based on the Windows based OS and current personnel are presently fully trained to utilize this OS. 4. Lack of advance planning and funding availability by the requiring activity is not a sufficient justification for sole source procurement? The requirement to capture full NetFlow / IPFIX traffic information, allowing significant in-depth application and protocol information analysis to take place including user, server and applications activity was identified in conjunction with the ongoing wireless and VoIP initiative. Traffic views by user, user group, conversation, system and application that is suitable for security, QoS, traffic analysis requirements is essential for the successful deployment of these two systems. If this application is not purchased in a timely manner, both the wireless and VoIP initiative will face a difficult, if not impossible task of succeeding. This software tool is essential to the correct configuration and initialization of the devices that the wireless and VoIP systems will run on.
