- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number W9115U-09-T-0016 is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ). This solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular FAC 05-36. In accordance with FAR 19.502-2 this solicitation is a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business set-aside. The associated NAICS code is 511210 and small business size standard is $25 million. This is a Brand Name or Equal requirement for a McAfee Network Threat Response solution. The Intrusion prevention system (IPS)/Intrusion Detection System (IDS) shall have the ability to specify traffic to be blocked by attack or by policy right down to individual host level. Supports advanced alert handling and forensic analysis capabilities for real time and historic alert viewing. It is imperative that the quality of the signatures is beyond question, since false positives can lead to a Denial of Service condition. The user must be able to trust that the IPS is blocking only the user selected malicious traffic. New signatures should be made available on a regular basis, and applying them should be quick (applied to all sensors in one operation via a central console) and seamless (no sensor reboot required). Packet processing rates must be at wire speed under real-life traffic conditions, and the device must meet the stated performance with all signatures enabled. Headroom (memory and hard drive capacity) should be built into the performance capabilities to enable the device to handle any increases in size of signature packs that may occur over the normal life expectancy (3 years). Packets should be processed quickly enough such that the overall latency of the device is as close as possible to that offered by a layer 4 device such as a firewall or load-balancer. System must have redundant fail-safes technology that will ensure that the IPS and IDS devices do not become a single point of failure in a critical network deployment. The list of items in the McAfee Network Threat Response solution and salient characteristic are as follows: Line item 0001: 12 each MFE Network Threat Response A100 Sensor Appliance HW (1Gbps), P/N NAP-A100-NTR (Brand Name or Equal to McAfee), Salient characteristic: must supports up to 1 Gbps performance throughput with 3-1gigabit Ethernet ports and 1 dedicated management port (1GbE).
