Brand Name Justification is as follows: DEFENSE INFORMATION SYSTEMS AGENCY (DISA) COMPUTING SERVICES LOGISTICS JUSTIFICATION AND APPROVAL TO PROCURE USING OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION BRAND NAME: Foundry Equipment PR Number: MIPR7LFOUNDRY ` 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 FAR 13.501, Test Program for Commercial Items, section 4202 of the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996. 1. Agency and Contracting Activity The requiring activity for this action is USAG Schweinfurt, Schweinfurt, Germany. The contracting activity is DISA/DITCO Europe,Building 143, 67681 Sembach-Heuberg, Germany. 2. Nature/Description of Action Requirement is for the purchase of Foundry for the upgrade of the USAG Schweinfurt, GE, under the Life Cycle Replacement Program. 3.

Identification of Statutory Authority FAR 13.501, Test Program for Commercial Items, section 4202 of the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996. 5. Demonstration of Contractor?s Unique Qualifications. US Army Garrison (USAG) Schweinfurt?s Local Area Network (LAN) primarily consists of Foundry Inc. Ethernet Layer 2 and 3 switches. This requirement will add additional Ethernet switches to the network and replace existing obsolete, unsupportable and unmanageable switches such as Cabletron Inc. US Army Europe (USAREUR)/5th Signal Command monitors and manages all USAG LANs in the European theater as one large Enterprise Wide Area Network (WAN). All network management and monitoring functions to include USAG Schweinfurt?s LAN are performed centrally by USAREUR/5th Signal Command at Network Operation Centers (NOCs). USAREUR/5th Signal Command uses Foundry Inc. proprietary network management and monitoring software called Iron View Network Manager (INM). Foundry INM software supports sFlow which is embedded in each of the Foundry Ethernet switches. The combination of Foundry INM and sFlow allows USAREUR/5th Signal Command to have full visibility of all network switches and perform continuous monitoring and analysis of network traffic. This visibility allows USAREUR/5th Signal Command to fully centrally manage the entire WAN. If USAG Schweinfurt were to place non Foundry Ethernet switches on their LAN, USAREUR/5th Signal Command would loose the ability to manage USAG Schweinfurt?s Local Area Network (LAN) and essentially disconnect it from the management of the European theater enterprise network. The costs to replace all equipment with another brand name so as to maintain the enterprise level management would exceed $15,000,000. 6. FedBizOpps Announcement/Potential Sources A combined synopsis solicication will be posted to FedBizOpps. 7. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Price The Contracting Officer will compete the requirement with resellers of the equipment that have to ensure prices are fair and reasonable. 8. Description of Market Research Market research indicates there are multiple resellers of Foundry equipment. Research found the following companies: 1. PacStar, 15055 SW Sequoia Pkwy. #100, Portland, OR 97224, 001-503.403.3000, Toll Free: 888.872.1512 2. Foundry Networks Inc., Corporate Headquarters: Santa Clara, CA 95054, 1-408.207.1700, Toll free: 888.TURBOLAN (888.887.2652) 3. CDW-G, Corporate Headquarters, 230 N. Milwaukee Ave. Vernon Hills, IL 60061, 001- 847.371.5600 The research that produced the overarching solution for the Life Cycle Management Program included an evaluation of multiple technologies and equipment manufacturers. This included Foundry and CISCO. The evaluation considered the personal experiences of 8 personnel, a review of product documentation obtained from the web, vendor provided demonstrations and product documentation, a review of currently fielded equipment, and GSA schedule pricing. Based on the evaluation an equipment suite was chosen based on capabilities, integration, and price. This solution included the selection of the Foundry product line. 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 USAG Schweinfurt area of responsibility. 10.
