- Subject: Eucalyptus Sole Source Notice of Intent Reference Number: NB180000-12-01994 Notice Type: Special Notice- Notice of Intent Synopsis: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Acquisition Management Division, on behalf of the NIST Office of Information Systems Management (OISM), intends to negotiate with Eucalyptus Systems, Inc., on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR Subpart 13.106-1 (b), Soliciting from a Single Source, to purchase Eucalyptus Systems, Inc.'s Eucalyptus Capacity Grade 1 (ECG1) with Standard Support, and EucaStart Consulting Services. The Enterprise Systems Division (ESD) of the Office of Information Systems Management (OISM) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking to obtain cloud management software to deploy a hybrid private (on-premise) and public cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) that uses NIST's existing VMware ESX infrastructure and supports AWS-compatible public cloud resources. ESD's goal is to offer NIST's Scientists an on-demand, self-service portal to IT resources using NIST's own IT resources and IT resources in public cloud space. There are many cloud products in the market place, but NIST has determined Eucalyptus Enterprise Edition is the only IaaS cloud management software currently on the market that is built open source and supports private and public cloud infrastructure. The purpose of this acquisition is to obtain a cloud-based software solution and professional services that will provide an on-demand, self-service Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offering to OISM's customers. In particular, NIST requires the contractor to complete a rapid deployment of an on-premise IaaS cloud that: 1. Supports both private and public clouds and KVM and VMware hypervisors under a single cloud management console 2. Supports the industry standard Amazon Web Services (AWS) API 3. Provides a self-service web interface to allow NIST's users to request, provision, and deploy cloud resources 4. Supports cloud resource allocation defined by users and groups 5. Provides compute and storage usage data for reporting and chargeback 6. Built on open source core cloud management software 7. Enable NIST to acquire expertise and gain knowledge on cloud architecture, configuration, and administration The NAICS Code is 511210 with a Size Standard of $25.0 million. NIST anticipates negotiating and awarding a firm-fixed-price purchase order to Eucalyptus Systems, Inc. for this requirement. Interested parties that believe they could satisfy the requirements listed above for NIST may clearly and unambiguously identify their capability to do so in writing on or before the response date for this notice. This notice of intent is not a solicitation. Information submitted in response to this notice will be used solely to determine whether competitive procedures could be used for this acquisition. Any questions regarding this notice must be submitted in writing via email to Willie Lu at willie.lu@nist.gov. All responses to this notice of intent must be submitted so that they are received at willie.lu@nist.gov no later than March 28, 2012 at 2:00 pm Eastern Time.
