This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will NOT be issued. This is a Request For Quote (RFQ) and the solicitation number is F2VUJ0155AC03. The 6th Contracting Squadron, MacDill AFB, Florida, requires the following items: 5 each brand name only Cisco Catalyst Upgrades. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-17 effective 15 May 2007, DFAR DCN 20070531, and AFFAR AFAC 20070531. Fed Biz Ops Numbered Notes per FAR Part 5.207-13(e) Apply: 12, 13, 29. The North American Industry Classification System code (NAICS), 334111 Electronic Computer Manufacturing. The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) is 3571 , Computers Merchant Wholesalers. The proposed contract is set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business concerns. Offers from other than Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business concerns will not be considered. A firm fixed price contract will be awarded. All interested parties must bid on all items. DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT: Description Manufacture Part Number Number of Units Catalyst 3560 24 10/100 + 2 SFP Standard Image Cisco Systems WS-C3560-24TS-S 5 Power Cord, 110V Cisco Systems CAB-AC 5 SMARTNET 8X5XNBD Catalyst 3560 24 10/ (1 YR) Cisco Systems CON-SNT-356024TS 5 Catalyst 3560 48 10/100 + 4 SFP Standard Image Cisco Systems WS-C3560-48TS-S 5 Power Cord, 110V Cisco Systems CAB-AC 5 SMARTNET 8X5NBD Cat 3560 48 10/100 + 4 SFP (1 YR) Cisco Systems CON-SNT-C356048S 5 This acquisition is a brand name only requirement based upon the excerpt from the Contracting Officer signed Justification and Approval. The USSOCOM Enterprise Network is entirely Cisco. Introduction of additional vendors into the enterprise to rectify this requirement would require additional testing and interoperability evaluation, as well increase the total cost of ownership (TCO) through additional training, maintenance contracts and interoperability engineering. Under the terms of the current support contract, the Government is responsible for providing EITC contractors with training on any equipment introduced to the network infrastructure outside that which was originally specified. The cost of training alone would be $3,500 a week for a training class and travel, plus a contractor labor cost of $2,880 per week. Training just 4 contractor for 4 weeks on any alternative equipment would cost the Government more then $100,000 in addition to the purchase price of the equipment. Without this brand name procurement, there would be a substantial duplication of cost to the Government that would not be expected to be recovered through full and open competition. Award will be made to the quotation which offers the best value to the government. Multiple awards may be accomplished if any items are determined to be unbalanced. The Government also reserves the right to make no award at all. DELIVERY ADDRESS: Item is to be procured on behalf of USSOCOM, MacDill AFB (Tampa), FL 33621.
