- Description
- See attached provisions and clauses. 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; QUOTATIONS ARE BEING REQUESTED AND A WRITTEN SOLICITATION DOCUMENT WILL NOT BE ISSUED. This solicitation is a Request for Proposal (RFP). This solicitation document and incorporated clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-65. This is a small business set-aside. Offerors will be responsible for obtaining related amendments to this solicitation, if any, from www.fbo.gov. It is the responsibility of each potential offeror to monitor www.fbo.gov for any amendments or other information related to this solicitation. Any communications regarding this acquisition must be made in writing and forwarded via email to Divya Soni at divya.soni@nist.gov and shall identify the solicitation number, company name, company address, as well as point of contact email address and phone number. The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 423430 and the size standard is 100 employees. This solicitation addresses a need for a renewal of Check Point maintenance and support at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The period of performance is March 1, 2013 through February 28, 2014. The existing NIST firewall and remote access infrastructure is based on CheckPoint and Nokia products (in 2009 CheckPoint acquired the Nokia security appliance business). The firewall and embedded remote access infrastructure consists of strategically-placed CheckPoint or Nokia devices running the CheckPoint firewall application, CheckPoint management devices, and other devices supporting the CheckPoint firewall management components. The firewall and remote access services are considered moderate availability services at NIST; therefore, firewall appliances are deployed at both sites (Gaithersburg and Boulder) with standby appliances at each site as is necessary for redundancy. Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, does not apply to this acquisition because this is a renewal for items that were already purchased previously. ***INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS *** Interested offerors shall provide firm-fixed-pricing for the below: Line Item 0001: Item: CPES-SS-PREMIUM Check Point Premium Support Software Subscription (User Center 6598303) Quantity: 1 EA Period of Performance: 03/01/2013-02/28/2014 Line Item 0002: Item: CPES-SS-STANDARD Check Point Standard Support and Software Subscription (User Center 6492738) Quantity: 1 EA Period of Performance: 03/01/2013-02/28/2014 Line Item 0003: Item: CPSB-IPS-L-1Y Check Point IPS blade for 1 year- for high end appliances and pre-defined systems Quantity: 4 EA Period of Performance: 03/01/2013-02/28/2014 Line Item 0004: Item: CPSB-IPS-XL-1Y Check Point IPS blade for 1 year- for ultra high-end appliances and pre-defined systems Quantity: 4 EA Period of Performance: 03/01/2013-02/28/2014 The offeror shall hold the prices in its offer firm for 60 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers.

If an Offeror submits a quotation based upon an FSS or GWAC contract, the Government will accept the quoted price. However, the terms and conditions stated herein will be included in any resultant Purchase Order, not the terms and conditions of the Offeror's FSS or GWAC contract, and the statement required above shall be included in the quotation. ***The due date and time for receipt of quotations is February 22, 2013 no later than 4:00PM EST. ***Offerors shall e-mail their quotation to divya.soni@nist.gov so that it is received by the response date/time for this solicitation. It is the responsibility of the offeror to confirm NIST's receipt of its quotation. Each quotation shall include sufficient data to allow the Government to determine the amount, realism and consistency of the quoted fixed price. NIST reserves the right to award a purchase order without discussions, based solely on the submission of the Contractor. EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD: The award will be made to the responsible authorized offeror whose technically acceptable quotation is deemed to represent the lowest price. Offers that meet all of the above requirements will be deemed technically acceptable. APPLICABLE PROVISIONS AND CLAUSES FOR THIS SOLICITATION: See attached.
