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 F2VUJ07173AC06. The 6th Contracting Squadron, MacDill AFB, Florida, requires the following items: brand name only disknet pro annual support and maintenance. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-20 effective 6 September 2007, DFAR DCN 20070913, and AFFAR AFAC 20070823.

A firm fixed price contract will be awarded. All interested parties must bid on all items. DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT: 30,000 Disknet Pro Licenses, including Encryption Policy Manager, Annual Support and Maintenance. This acquisition is a brand name only requirement based upon the excerpt from the Contracting Officer signed Justification and Approval. Reflex Disknet Pro software was installed on the USSOCOM enterprise in January 2007, and provides USSOCOM Headquarters enterprise and local visibility of compliance with established network security policy. This requirement is to continue the maintenance and support of the system. As the system is currently less than a year into service the costs associated with the purchase as outlined below would not be fully recouped if any competitor's software were able to be integrated as a replacement. Reflex Disknet Pro reveals how security policy is actually applied on the operational network. By highlighting systems and users that do not comply, command attention and resources may then be focused on strengthening the network security posture through better policy enforcement. Reflex Disknet Pro also provides information that will identify issues that are inadequately addressed by existing policy. This information enables USSOCOM to continually develop and refine its computer network security policy. Finally, due to its ability to monitor removable media at a highly granular level, Reflex Disknet Pro is a useful tool to mitigate the risk necessitated by operational requirements. The software is the only CJCSI 6510.01D approved software which allows USSOCOM to meet the following requirements: Provide an enterprise-wide solution with a policy driven mechanism of securing information Provide an automated capability to ensure data integrity across the enterprise Provide a central control of access to removable media, as well as user access to floppy disk, CD/DVD ROM, Zip/Jazz drives, memory sticks, PDA and flash memory allowing all removable media/IO devices to be authorized before use is granted and for authorization to be centrally managed or authorized with Active Directory group management Provide a profile based file management capability to prevent users from creating defined file types on local workstation and or network drives Provide device management through administrative control of user access to all PC ports. Provide ability to control USB, IrDA, Com, Firewire and LPT ports Provide detailed auditing capability. All events are centrally logged in an SQL database with the ability to create structured queries and detailed reports. All file operations on all removable storage devices including CDs/DVDs, thumb drives and PDAs, can be audited. Provide tracking of user behavior and system security Automatically detects and integrate with compatible anti-virus scanners Ensure data can only be accessed by authorized personnel, on authorized systems Provide enterprise and local visibility of compliance with established network security policy (show how security policy is actually applied on the operational network) Provide the automated capability to identify issues not captured by existing policy Provide capability to mitigate the risk necessitated by operational requirements Provide an automated application verification and audit analysis capability Provide visibility into enterprise operations and potential security threats Quantifies the status of enterprise security providing the necessary information for continuous improvements Provide a capability to build security analysis into existing policy and automate event response Provide capability to identify and prioritize potential network vulnerabilities Provide a common policy definition for network operation among enterprise stakeholders Ensure only approved file types can be accessed on removable drives. Ensure only authorized digitally tagged disk can be used when using floppy disk, or during removable media authorization; enforcing a complete virus check of all removable media. United States Special Operations Command requires this brand name only support as award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. The approximate cost of the duplication effort would be $899,497.00, as outlined in the table below. These costs are based on expenditures under the current contract that have been incurred to gain a level of operational acceptance by the government for contractors and government employees. The cost that would not be recovered through open competition involves resources for testing and operational readiness (certification and accreditation, operational compatibility and continuity) with the current network architecture and the risk associated to downtime and lack of coverage during a replacement phase of new technology. Award will be made to the quotation which offers the best value to the government. The Government also reserves the right to make no award at all.
