THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY SOLICITATION; QUOTATIONS ARE BEING REQUESTED, AND A WRITTEN SOLICITATION DOCUMENT WILL NOT BE ISSUED. THIS ACQUISITION IS BEING PROCURED UTILIZING SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION PROCEDURES. This solicitation is a Request for Quotation (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-51. The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 561621, with size standard of $12.5M. This acquisition is being procured as a small business set-aside. The Information Technology Security & Networking Division of the Office of Information Systems Management (OISM) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) directs the NIST IT Security Program to ensure the security of NIST IT systems and networks and compliance with Federal regulations and DoC policies. Ensures NIST IT security policies and procedures are developed, maintained, understood and properly implemented and enforced. The Division manages the IT System Certification and Accreditation Program as well as the NIST IT Security Awareness, Training and Education Program. Responds and reports on IT security incidents, makes technical recommendations on IT security configurations and products, performs system vulnerability testing, and monitors and evaluates security performance on sensitive enterprise systems. Implements and tests firewall policies, oversees day to day firewall operations, evaluates network threats and vulnerabilities, performs network vulnerability testing, provides oversight of the central NIST communications infrastructure, and provides secure remote access. Manages all aspects of the NIST IT network and services in support of NIST programs; monitors security, performance, and workload of the network infrastructure to ensure maximum effective use of installed systems; tracks emerging network technology to ensure that new technology and services are introduced that are the best possible match to NIST requirements. The NIST firewall and remote access infrastructure is based on Checkpoint and Nokia products. The firewall and embedded remote access infrastructure consists of strategically-placed Checkpoint or Nokia devices running the Checkpoint firewall application, Checkpoint management devices, and other devices supporting the Checkpoint firewall management components. The firewall and remote access services are considered moderate availability services at NIST; therefore, firewall appliances are deployed at both sites with standby appliances at each site as is necessary for redundancy.
