Identification of Statutory Authority. Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996, Section 4202 (10 U.S.C. 2304). The NETAPPS equipment is peculiar to one manufacturer. 5. Demonstration of Contractor?s Unique Qualifications. a. This equipment is a life cycle replacement for the current Network Appliance F760 storage system. The FAS270-C Network Appliance Storage Array is used to support European Security Operations Center (ESOC) mission activities that are not supported by the DCGS-A and HIGHCASTLE programs. National Security Agency (NSA) provides the ESOC funding to procure systems and software not covered under the current Army Program of Record. b. Continuing the ESOC data storage with NetApps allows the node to take advantage of the 66th MI Group's existing Disaster Recovery Program (DRP) solution which was installed last year and uses NetApp Snap Mirror and Snap Restore. Both of the software programs are proprietary to NetApp hardware. c. The ESOC continues to be inline with 66th MI Group's storage architecture and gives their node access to a larger number of experienced storage administrators. The purchase will provide four times the current storage, provide for better data security and meet stricter systems accreditation standards. d. Using a variety of different data storage devices, not meeting the criteria identified above, would cause the following support issues: (1) Funding would be required to purchase PLL and ASL, as the current stocks are oriented toward supporting NetApps equipment. (2) Funding for training on multiple vendors equipment would have be obtained to provide training to 66th MI Group. (3) Funding would be required to initiate new maintenance and support contracts on any additional equipment. e. In summary, the purchase of specific brand-name products enables the ESOC to simplify support, maintain the Enterprise Infrastructure and meet the operational requirements of the defense intelligence community. 6. FedBizOpps Announcement/Potential Sources. The solicitation will be posted on FedBiz Opps. 7. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Price. The Contracting Officer will compete the requirement among resellers of Net App equipment on FedBiz Opps. All brand name Network Appliance resellers who submit offers will be considered for award on a lowest cost, technically acceptable basis. The price to the Government will be determined fair and reasonable prior to award based upon competition. 8. Description of Market Research. The requesting activity used the Army Small Computer Program website to determine interest, as well as contacting other vendors known to be able to supply the required NetApp equipment. 9. Any Other Supporting Facts. None 10. Listing of Interested Sources. Interested sources include: Apptis, Inc.; Merlin International, Inc.; and FCN Technology Solutions. 11. Actions Taken to Remove Barriers to Competition. None at this time. Use of other than NetApp equipment would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. 12. Statement of Period of Performance and/or Delivery Schedule. 30-45 days ARO. 13. Reference to the Approved Acquisition Plan (AP)/Program Plan (PP). N/A. AP not required.
