Description

THIS IS A COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION FOR COMMERCIAL ITEMS PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FORMAT IN FAR SUBPART 12.6-STREAMLINED PROCEDURES FOR EVALUATION AND SOLICITATION FOR COMMERCIAL ITEMS-AS SUPPLEMENTED WITH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION INCLUDED IN THIS NOTICE. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY SOLICITATION; QUOTATIONS ARE BEING REQUESTED, AND A WRITTEN SOLICITATION DOCUMENT WILL NOT BE ISSUED. This solicitation is a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for commercial products and services. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-57. The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 541519 including Exception 2 for value added resellers. The small business size standard is 150 employees. This acquisition is 100% set-aside for small business. This is a brand name only requirement. Quoters must provide the brand name software identified within the line items. This is a brand name only requirement for Oracle software and support. This project supports Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) biometrics research and development objectives in automated fingerprint-matching system testing, and standards through an on-going FBI/National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) collaboration. NIST has been in collaboration with the FBI since 1968 in conducting research on automated fingerprint-matching systems. Since 2008, with the help and support from the FBI, the current legacy fingerprint-matching test environment at NIST is in a transitional phase to update NIST's current supercomputer based architecture to the new blade-based Next Generation Identification (NGI) system currently in operation at the FBI. The blade-based NGI system architecture utilizes a fingerprint-matching system designed specifically for the FBI's current operational system. The FBI requires that NIST install the NGI system architecture, on FBI supplied hardware so that NIST will remain in sync with the FBI's operational system. Transition and updating of the NIST fingerprint-matching system to duplicate the fingerprint-matching subsystem of the FBI's new NGI system is critical for NIST to remain in sync with the operational behavior of the FBI system, to ensure repeatability of NIST's testing framework, and maintain the collaboration. The database management system software by Oracle is the database management system used in the FBI system and the subsystem NIST must duplicate. The Oracle database management system is the only system that is identical to the FBI's subsystem and will ensure performance replication of the FBI's finger print matching subsystem. NIST requires the Oracle brand database management system software lobe installed on the FBI supplied hardware already in NIST's possession and intended for this purpose.
