The government's acceptance of the contractor's proposal constitutes bilateral agreement to "issue" contractual documents as detailed herein. 508 STATEMENT: The customer for this requirement is Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center (FLENUMMETOCCEN) in Monterey, Ca. The mission of FLENUMMETOCCEN is to collect, interpret, and apply global atmospheric / oceanographic data / information in support of strategic and tactical warfare and peace-keeping initiatives. FLENUMMETOCCEN is the Department of Defense's (DoD) principal operational processing center for automated numerical meteorological and oceanographic analyses and predictions. Around-the-clock operational oceanographic and meteorological support is provided to the US Navy, other US Government agencies, as well as elements of the armed forces of allied nations. This support consists of running regularly scheduled large environmental numerical global forecast models for ships, aircraft, and other forces throughout the DoD. Greater emphasis on preparation of, and reaction to, regional conflicts and the littoral threat has resulted in a greatly increased demand for high resolution coupled model meteorological guidance and forecasts, as well as oceanographic support to tactical coastal operations. FLENUMMETOCCEN requires Lucent VitalSuite maintenance support. The licenses and maintenance provided by this procurement are in direct support of the Fleet Numerical mission. FLENUMMETOCCEN is using the equipment to provide weather and oceanographic data to ships at sea and troops in the field. Per 40 USC § 11103(a)(1)(E), the systems being supported are in direct fulfillment of military missions. As such, in accordance with 29 U.S.C. 794d (A)(5), the National Security System exemption applies. BRAND NAME STATEMENT: Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center's network infrastructure contains numerous Cisco networking appliances. VitalSuite Network Management software is fully integrated with and configured for our present Cisco networking equipment. It is costly to modify and re-integrate brand new software that is currently running on the current Information Architecture (IA) approved suite. Other alternative software would require re-engineering, integration, testing, certification, and evaluation of any new, potential system. Selection of brand new software would provide no demonstrable value, would cause unacceptable delays in sustaining and improving the agency's critical operations, and likely duplicate costs already expended in arriving at the current level of operational efficiency and stability; therefore, maintaining the existing infrastructure is in the best interest of the Government. The cited brand name software is essential to the Government's requirements, thereby precluding consideration of a product manufactured by another company.
