As reflected on the attached requirements list, this acquisition will provide the following: • SOFTWARE LICENSE: Four (4) Dual Core CPU licenses are being upgraded to Quad Core for both SIPRNet and NIPRNet Production - each environment is using servers with 2 Quad Core CPUs. AmberPoint will provide an "Unlimited Right to Deploy" for its Proxy agents as well. • SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE: Maintenance and support for the existing AmberPoint software (purchased in FY09) is needed as well as for the new software being purchased. • CONSULTATION SUPPORT: A maximum of 90 days are required along with associated travel funds. The consultation support will provide critically needed, Amberpoint subject matter experts to assist with the integration of the software. Demonstration of Contractor's Unique Qualifications: The required software, maintenance/support, and subject matter expertise are proprietary to the AmberPoint manufacturer and can only be obtained from them or authorized AmberPoint resellers. NCES requires two capabilities that are available from AmberPoint engineers: 1) integration with the tools supporting the GIG Infrastructure Services Management Center (GISMC) and 2) support for the Joint ESM specification. These capabilities need to be enhanced, supported, and operationalized, which requires the expert engineering knowledge only available from AmberPoint consulting engineers. The NCES PMO has incorporated the use of Amberpoint software into the NCES operational baseline since 2005. Since 2005, there has been substantial investment to integrate Amberpoint into the baseline. The software has unique features (such as mission thread management and Joint ESM support) that have been customized to meet NCES customer requirements. The Amberpoint software has already successfully passed years of stringent testing and accreditation. This unique qualification gives Amberpoint a distinct advantage. It's proven to work in the operational baseline. It is in the best interest of the Government to continue the maintenance and expansion of the existing Amberpoint software that NCES already owns and is deployed at various NCES development, integration/testing and operational environments. Failure to do so would cause unacceptable performance risks, additional costs, and schedule delays as outlined below. Any Other Supporting Facts: AmberPoint authorized resellers can fulfill the services needed. It is in the best interest of the Government to continue the maintenance and expansion of the existing software that NCES already owns and is deployed at various NCES development, integration/testing and operational environments. There are other software vendors that provide solutions somewhat comparable to AmberPoint, such as Actional. However, switching to a new product would invalidate the recently completed Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) and delay the Program at least 2 years.
