Brand Name Justification is below: USAFE CSS/SCML JUSTIFICATION AND APPROVAL TO PROCURE USING OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION BRAND NAME: Cisco Equipment Upon the basis of the following justification, I, as Contracting Officer, hereby approve the use of other than full and open competition for the proposed contractual action pursuant to the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), FAR 6.302-1(c), Application for Brand Name Description. 1. Agency and Contracting Activity: The requiring activity for this action is USAFE CSS/SCML, Ramstein Air Force Base, Germany. The contracting activity is DISA/DITCO Europe, Building 143, 67681 Sembach-Heuberg, Germany. 2. Nature/Description of Action: The proposed contractual action is for other than full and open competition based on 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), FAR 6.302-1(c), Application for Brand Name Description. Request approval to solicit, negotiate, and award a contract to resellers of CISCO equipment. A firm-fixed price commercial item type contract is planned and will be issued pursuant to FAR 13.5. The contract is for the purchase of Cisco SONET equipment, required for the network upgrade at the RAF Lakenheath, UK, Technical Control Facility. 3. Description of Supplies/Services: Requirement is for the purchase of various Cisco Synchronous Network Equipment (SONET) for the upgrade of the RAF Lakenheath, UK, Technical Control Facility (TCF) Phase II under the HQ USAFE TCF Modernization Program. 4. Identification of Statutory Authority: 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), FAR 6.302-1(c), Application for Brand Name Description. 5. Demonstration of Contractor?s Unique Qualifications: This equipment purchase is part of an ongoing MAJCOM-wide TCF Modernization Program and will be an extension of previously purchased and installed equipment. CISCO is required to ensure consistency in the design, continuity of training, ease of use, and interoperability, as this equipment is being installed into an existing SONET network. Additionally, CISCO SONET is required to be able to work with our existing fiber optic cards which are being supplied from a previous upgrade. If another brand was used there would be the additional cost of the Optical cards. Furthermore, USAFE/A6 is deploying an enterprise remote monitoring and management solution command-wide, which further justifies the CISCO solution as it allows the USAFE Network Operations and Security Center to use a single tool to manage all USAFE SONET equipment. 6. FedBizOpps Announcement/Potential Sources The synopsis will be combined with the solicitation in accordance with FAR part 12. 7. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Price The Contracting Officer will compete the requirement with resellers of CISCO equipment to ensure prices are fair and reasonable. 8. Description of Market Research The research that produced the overarching solution for the USAFE TCF Modernization Program included the evaluation of several technologies and equipment manufacturers. This included CISCO, Acorn, NET, Marconi, Carrier Access, Nortel Networks, and Timplex to name a few. The evaluation consisted of personal experiences of USAFE personnel, review of product documentation obtained from the web, vendor provided demonstrations and product documentation, review of currently fielded equipment, and GSA schedule and retail pricing lists. Based on the evaluations, an equipment suite was chosen based on capabilities, integration, and price. This solution included the selection of the CISCO SONET product line as the optical layer multiplexer. 9. Supporting Facts: This Brand Name of equipment is requested to maintain uniformity, common troubleshooting and maintenance techniques, a standardized training program and economy of resources across the USAFE Theater. 10. Listing of Interested sources: World Wide Technology, NAS5-02144, 60 Weldon Parkway, Saint Louis, MO 63043, 314-919-1431 Government Micro Resources Inc (GMRI), NAS5-01145, 7403 Gateway Court, Manassas, VA 20109, 800-232-4671 11. Actions taken to remove barriers to competition: No action has been taken to remove barriers to competition. USAFE CSS/SCML must remain with the Cisco product line to ensure continuity, compatibility and consistency of existing equipment. The Government would incur costs in training of personnel and reengineering of non-CISCO equipment for integration with existing equipment as detailed above. Competition is limited to multiple resellers of CISCO equipment. 12. Statement of Period of Performance and/or Delivery Schedule The Government anticipates a 30-day delivery period after contractor?s receipt of order 13. Reference to Approved Acquisition Plan (AP) Not applicable.
