- Description
- The U. S. Department of Justice, National Security Division anticipates a competitive procurement for Cisco brand name equipment off of the NASA SEWP IV Contract. This brand name intent is for reasons of performance, cost, and time. This acquisition is for additional network components. The mission of the NSD is to carry out the Department?s highest priority: to combat terrorism and other threats to national security. The existing network infrastructure, both LAN and WAN, is based on Cisco equipment. This new equipment must be fully compatible with all existing communications protocols and management tools. The specified brand is required for compatibility with the existing equipment base as well as with equipment interfacing from other agencies. This equipment is specified in our system security certification and accreditation documents, and changing the brand of equipment would require a new certificate and accreditation process. Furthermore, all NSD routing and switching expertise is with Cisco. NSD has a considerable training investment in staff specifically trained and certified on this equipment. NSD does not have the resources to utilize other infrastructure options at this time. Maintaining one consistent brand across all routing and switching equipment is required and enables NSD to effectively manage the network with less complexity, thus facilitating network uptime, management, and security. The brand and model(s) contained herein are essential to the Government?s immediate and mission-critical requirement.
