Attachment 3A - OEM Authorization Relationship Small Business 20260429.xlsx

This is a data collection template (Attachment 3A) for documenting Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) authorized reseller relationships as part of the SAVES procurement response. Offerors must complete two tiers of OEM relationship information for evaluation under SIR #697DCK-25-R-00302. Tier 1A addresses high-volume/high-spend OEMs currently used by DOT/FAA, including Adobe, Cisco, Dell, F5 Networks, HPE, Lexmark, Okta, ProofPoint, RedHat, ServiceNow, Splunk, Tanium, and Xerox. For each Tier 1 OEM, vendors must indicate their authorization level (all items or subset of items), provide the attachment number of the Letter of Authorization (LOA), and supply point of contact information including name, email, and phone number. Tier 2A is optional and includes additional OEMs (NetApp, Open Text, Oracle, Pure Storage, and Sunhillo) submitted for informational purposes only and not evaluated as part of proposal scoring.

The template defines "authorized reseller" as a reseller verified by the OEM and recognized as an approved reseller of all or specific items. A supplementary dropdown menu references OEM contracts including FAA/SAVES, Check Point GWAC, Cisco BPA, Dell BOA, and others, allowing vendors to identify relevant contract vehicles through which they maintain their OEM relationships. Vendors must complete the entire worksheet in accordance with solicitation Section L.11.2.1 and will be evaluated per Section M.3.1 of the IDIQ contract terms. This attachment is mandatory for proposal submission and serves as a critical evaluation criterion for assessing vendor capabilities to supply equipment and software from major manufacturers within the FAA IT ecosystem.
