- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The US Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) in support of the Defense Health Agency (DHA) is soliciting a brand name only acquisition for NetApp Maintenance and Support. The manufacturer is NetApp, 495 E. Java Drive, Sunnyvale, CA 94089. The requirement is for procurement maintenance support for NetApp equipment currently located at the Bank of America (BoA) building in San Antonio, TX. DHA utilizes NetApp equipment throughout its network and server infrastructure. This renewal will provide maintenance support for equipment currently supporting DHA users in San Antonio. The equipment supports several hundred users of the DHA Network at the BoA building. DHA requires NetApp support because the equipment that has been fielded is NetApp equipment. In renewing maintenance support for the fielded equipment, DHA can avoid the time and monetary costs associated with replacing all of the NetApp equipment currently supporting the DHA Network at the BoA building. The NetApp support will provide 24x7 on call and replacement services for the NetApp equipment currently deployed at the BoA building. There are no suitable third party manufacturers of NetApp maintenance support, necessitating the sole source for this procurement. NetApp requires utilization their own support in order to provide warranty and service without violating existing agreements the Government has with NetApp. If the Government is unable to extend maintenance support, it will be unable to contact NetApp for assistance with any upgrades or patches that it needs to install on its equipment. If any Information Assurance (IA) patches are released for the NetApp equipment that the Government is utilizing, the Government will be unable to install them. This will lead to the equipment falling out of IA compliance and eventually require the equipment to be disconnected from the Government's network, causing service disruptions. If you have any questions, please contact James Cheng at 301-619-1012 or electronically at james.cheng1.civ@mail.mil. Please provide the following items when responding to this solicitation: -DUNS# -CAGE Code -TAX ID# (TIN -Discount Terms (i.e. Net 30) -Delivery Time -Contact Information (Name, Telephone Number, Fax Number, and Email) -Any Shipping Cost
