- Description
- ****NOTE: CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO PREVIOUS WORDING OF THE NOTICE TO CLARIFY THE FACT THAT DLA INTENDS TO PURCHASE HARDWARE, SOFTWARE, AND MAINTENANCE (NOT JUST MAINTENANCE) VIA THE PROSPECTIVE BPA. SEE CHANGES REFLECTED THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS**** The DLA HQ Information Operations Directorate (J-6) has tasked the DLA Enterprise Support Acquisition Office (DES-A) to award a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) establishing terms by which the DLA Enterprise can obtain Cisco hardware, software, and maintenance. The goal is to provide the DLA Enterprise with best value, world class Cisco products and maintenance. In assessing best value, DLA will consider a number of factors, which may include, but may not be limited to the following: 1) Price; 2) Delivery/Response Time; 3) Past Performance; and 4) Technical Capability, which can be broken down into the following subfactors: a) Asset Management, b) Organizational Structure, c) Value Added. Two critical elements of asset management that should be noted are: 1) Order tracking (the effective maintenance of records including but not necessarily limited to sales data, DLA requiring activity/location, P/N, serial #, maintenance term, warranty, etc.); 2) Contractor???s plan to meet DLA goal of consolidating/organizing DLA maintenance agreements to co-terminate at one end date. The Government anticipates the scope of the requirement to include all Cisco hardware, software, and maintenance P/N items currently in offering, including CONUS and OCONUS maintenance/support for the various DLA field activities around the world. The Government invites all interested, responsible parties to provide a brief plan/outline as to how they would best meet the Government???s requirement. The format for submission is at the discretion of the contractor, but should address the prospective evaluation factors noted. The following information should also be provided by the interested party: 1) CAGE Code; 2) Business Size (Use NAICS code 423430, size standard: 500 employees as a reference point); 3) Cisco Certifications (i.e. Gold, Silver, Premier, etc.). Keep in mind that this is not a formal solicitation, but a Request For Information (RFI) / Presolicitation Notice and responses to this notice should not be submitted, nor will they be evaluated as offers. The Government will take into account feedback to this preliminary notice in the drafting its formal solicitation to be released at a later date.
