Description

This Request for Information (RFI) is issued for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation nor does it restrict the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) as to the ultimate acquisition approach. In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.201(e), responses to this notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by VA to form a binding contract. The purpose of this RFI is to identify qualified contractors, who are able to meet VA s requirements in the transition of Co-located Hosting Services (CHS). Any contract/order that might be awarded based on information received or derived from this market research will be the outcome of the competitive process. The purpose of this RFI is to obtain market information on capable sources of supply, industry practices, and input specific to the information provided. VA is not responsible for any cost incurred by industry in furnishing this information. All costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the interested vendor's expense. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future Request for Proposal (RFP), if any is issued. Any information submitted by respondents to this RFI is strictly voluntary. All submissions become VA property and will not be returned. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code applicable to this acquisition is 517311. The Small Business Size Standard for this NAICS code is 1500 employees. Please indicate your company size and socio-economic status under this NAICS. The Contractor shall provide a like-for-like transition of all Networx contracted co-location services to a new contract vehicle award for Co-located Hosting Service (CHS). The like-for-like transition means that where a technology exists today, it will transition to a like technology provided by the contractor. For example, if a fiber cross connect is currently contracted, a fiber cross connect will be procured on the new contract. VA intends to upgrade services if the existing contracted services have reached end of life and require an upgrade. The upgrade will be a like-for-similar upgrade. For example, if Battery Distribution Fuse Bays (BDFBs) are currently being used and they are at end of life, the replacement model will be procured as part of the Contractor s Transition Project. VA seeks to acquire Co-located Hosting Service. A full technical description of the service type is in section 3 below. VA may award up to two (2) contracts, with each providing CHS at two data center locations. Alternatively, VA is considering making one award for all four locations. See Attachment titled VA Co-Located Hosting Services Request for Information and additional documents for more information.
