This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for Brand Name commercial items in accordance with FAR 6.302-1(c), Application for brand name descriptions, and the format in FAR Subpart 12.6 Streamlined Procedures for Evaluation and Solicitation for Commercial Items. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; a fixed price quotation is requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number is NAMA-08-Q-0144 and is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-26 effective June 12, 2008. There is no applicable set-aside for this requirement and competition is only constrained by the Brand Name requirement. BACKGROUND: The National Archives and Records Administration, has the requirement to maintain a Network that is up to date and complies with the NARA Enterprise Architecture’s Technology Standards Profile and Data Center standards. The infrastructure hardware being procured integrates into the existing NARA’s infrastructure seamlessly to provide cohesive and unified monitoring, configuration management and security controls from College Park, MD. CISCO brand infrastructure equipment is necessary to effectuate the seamless integration into NARA’s existing environment, and standardizing NARA’s existing CISCO system will preclude the significant problems associated with network outages such as work stoppage and data loss. We are now focusing on A1 and A2 to replace existing Network Switches to the same standard as the field sites. Also, NH has a requirement to perform a technology refresh of some of the ADRRES/IRC IT system support components with IT hardware that is identical to the components currently utilized in the current production environment. The current ADRRES/URTS switches are Cisco. The infrastructure hardware being procured integrates into the existing NARA’s NARANET standard infrastructure seamlessly to provide cohesive and unified monitoring, configuration management and security controls from College Park, MD. Only Cisco brand parts will be considered for the essential security component of the ADRRES/IRC and URTS Technology Refresh projects. As part of this technology refresh, we intend to install Cisco appliances to meet current FISMA security requirements for capturing system log in and activity. The Government will not be responsible for any costs incurred in responding to this notice. REQUIREMENTS: This is a Brand Name, firm-fixed price request and all delivery costs should be included in total estimated value.

NARA requires that all Cisco products be purchased from “Authorized/Certified Vendor’s Only”. Any and all vendors submitting quotes shall provide proof of authorization from Cisco. Please refer to attached amendment.
