- Description
- REQUEST FOR PRICE QUOTES Price Quotes are requested for a one-year renewal support agreement for RealSecure Network software maintenance. The existing maintenance service expired on 29 October 2009. Price Quotes should include reinstatement fees if applicable. A justification for specific make and model is listed below. The part numbers, quantities and estimated costs for this purchase are reflected below: IBM Part # Qty # of Users RNE-1-PB-M 1 13 RNE-1-PB-M 1 8 The software maintenance agreement will be initially delivered to the following Fairfax, Virginia location: Raytheon Inc, H98291 (EBOM 1728) 4601 N. Fairfax Drive, Suite 711 Attn: Paul Foresta Arlington, VA 22203-1524 The purchase of this one-year renewal maintenance support for RealSecure Network software maintenance is needed to support the Combined Enterprise Regional Information Exchange System Global Counter-Terrorism Force and Multinational Coalition Forces Iraq (CENTRIX-GCTF/MCFI) services. A justification for specific make and model is attached for reference. This maintenance agreement will provide needed software updates necessary to maintain the Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS). JUSTIFICATION AND APPROVAL TO PROCURE USING OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION SPECIFIC MAKE AND MODEL Description of Action(s): The purpose of this effort is to purchase a one-year renewal maintenance agreement for RealSecure Network software. This acquisition is in support of Combined Enterprise Regional Information Exchange System Global Counter-Terrorism Force and Multinational Coalition Forces Iraq (CENTRIX-GCTF/MCFI) services. This maintenance agreement will provide needed software updates necessary to maintain the Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS). The products and quantities required for this RealSecure Network software maintenance are: Part number RNE-1-PB-M, quantity of 1 (includes 13 users) Part number RNE-1-PB-M, quantity of 1 (includes 8 users). The manufacture of this software is IBM. Demonstration of Contractor's Unique Qualifications: The specific make and model required is already accredited in the facility. A change in the product would mean modifying engineering drawings, changing accreditation paperwork and require re-approval from the Designated Approval Authority (DAA), causing a detrimental delay in operation. The specific make and model was tested extensively such that a confidence factor of 100% is assigned to the probability of this product's integration into the over-riding system. The product is required to ensure the timely update of the intrusion detection system's signatures. If the selected specific make and model is not purchased, signatures can not be updated and the latest security threats can not be detected. The purchase of this specific make and model is more economical than purchasing a different brand that would require the system to be retested and approved. Abandoning this software would significantly increase the cost and time it would take to convert to a new software. Selecting alternative software products would require the PMO to incur a minimum of 12 months of development effort and an estimated additional program cost (excluding new COTS licensing costs) to develop, integrate, test, secure, and maintain a replacement for this software.
