(viii) IAW Memorandum for Chief Acquisition Officer, Chief Information Officers, Senior Procurement Executives entitled "Use of Brand Name Specifications" dated April 11, 2005 the Brand Name Letter will be published with the solicitation through the Government Point of Entry. Description of Acquisition: This request is for the purchase of brand name items of network equipment, to include servers, switches, routers, firewalls, software, and associated peripherals for the NORAD and USNORTHCOM Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) Test and Integration Lab (TIL). This request is authorized under FAR 13.5. Statutory authority: FAR 6.302-1(c), Brand Name. Description of Requirement: NORAD and USNORTHCOM requires a standardization of all IPv6 TIL network assets, to include all hardware and software, which includes all CISCO Blades, CISCO Switches, HPCompaq Servers, printers and secure and non-secure workstations. The TIL is being established to provide a test bed for testing new software/hardware, applications, security configurations and network upgrades-to include Internet protocol version 6 testing. The equipment being purchased must be the brand names specified, as it is essential to have an identical mirror of the existing production NIPRNet and SIPRNet. If the IPv6 addition to the TIL does not match the NIPRNet and SIPRNet, the testing results are invalidated in reference to our production network. This is essential for our hardware/software configuration baseline and for Network Administration purposes. The testing needs to be accomplished on an identical network so that any problems or issues that are discovered can be corrected before moving the item or software being tested into the production network. Efforts to Obtain Competition: Other than brand name acquisition will be exercised when the technical refresh process takes place, which is currently on a 3 year cycle. Because this requirement is an addition to the existing requirement, hardware and software must match the existing equipment. Market Survey : A market survey has been conducted, resulting in several authorized vendors that can provide these products.
