- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. Solicitation No. RBS00100007 herein cited will be procured under FAR Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items. This solicitation incorporates provisions and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-38. The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 443120 with a small business size standard of $9.0 Million. Haskell Indian Nations University has established a Buy Indian Set Aside for American Indian/Alaskan Native Own Firms who must also be a small business. The American Indian Owned Firm must be an AUTHORIZER RESELLER AND CERTIFIED PARTNER OF CISCO. BRAND NAME JUSTIFICATION: Cisco product is the only product solution that has been certified for use in the Department of the Interior Information Technology Department environment. The Government would incur substantial unplanned expense by conducting another review and certification process to locate and procure other hardware that meets the data center's requirements, and is fully functional and operational in the IT data center. The government would incur substantial cost and risk by using hardware that has not been tested and certified for use within the IT data center. Substantial research and testing would have to be done to find another product that offers the same capability as Cisco in a server environment and to ensure that product's compatibility with existing hardware and software components. In order for the government to be able to use another brand of hardware, the entire data center server system would have to be overhauled and replaced with another solution other than Cisco. The estimate was derived based on an analysis of competing server environments. The delay and mission impact resulting in the interrupt in service while the new solution is being implemented is estimated to be significant and would take many months. These costs justify a brand name only acquisition.
