This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6 and in accordance with FAR 13.5, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation is issued as a request for quote, solicitation number SP3300-10-Q-0146. The Defense Logistics Agency located in New Cumberland, PA has a requirement to purchase IBM/Checkpoint Firewall Hardware and Software to support the Defense Logistics Agency, Susquehanna Pennsylvania with their firewall administration and network based intrusion prevention. This is an unrestricted acquisition for vendors that can provide Checkpoint firewall software, Checkpoint IP firewall appliance platforms and IBM Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) appliances to meet the requirements specified. The NAICS code is 334611. The size standard is 500 employees. This is a brand name requirement. DDC currently uses the Checkpoint and IBM, and the subject hardware, software and applications are the only fully compatible solution. The introduction of another manufacturer’s solution would not function within our existing environment. This sole manufacturer of hardware/software configuration has enhanced the management capabilities at J6N by reducing the number of maintenance support contracts, decreasing the multiple vendor training requirements and eliminating the need for various ancillary IT equipment or software required to allow functionality between multi vendor equipment. The current management infrastructure only supports Checkpoint and IBM. See Attachment #1 schedule of supplies and services for CLIN identification. Offerors shall provide a firm fixed unit price for each CLIN and the total amount inclusive of shipping cost FOB destination.
