4. IDENTIFICATION OF THE JIJSTJYICATION Rationale AND/OR DEMONSTRATION OF CONTRACTOR’S UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS: The statutory authority which permits not providing eachawardeea fairopportuxiity to be considered foreachorder exceeding $3,000 issued under amultiple award contractis 10 U.S.C.2304c, asimplemented byFAR 16.505(b)(2).

Theproposed requirement is to acquireNetApp storage support. JS 37 has, as one of its missions, to supportthe CICS and the Joint Warfighter throughjoint forcedevelopment inorderto advancethe operational effectiveness ofthe current and futurejoint force. This storage will provide high-performance tier (increased bandwidth) foruser accessingJS J7 Data Centerhosted applications. The new increased bandwidth capability ofiltN~App syslem is an investment in the Data Center architecture.

Currently, NetApp is the architecture used forthis capability. Because this purchase is only for portions ofthe larger network architecture, NetApp equipment needs to be purchased. If this requirement was not for portions, the cost of the new architecture would be vastly higher. The consequences ofnot using NetApp’s operating system would be the threat of network failure, which could be a cause critical joint force deadlines to be missed. These storage systems do not follow an industry standard and each has proprietary operating systems. NetApp ~ ‘data ONTAP” is not interoperable with other storage platforms. Obtaining an alternative to the structured NetApp operating system would not work due to compatibility issues, as well as additional time and extra cost that would need to be covered by the government.

Thus, Net App equipment is essential to the Government’srequirements and market research indicates other companies’ similar products, or products lacking the particular feature, do not meet or cannot be modified to meet, the agency’s needs. This requirement will be awarded to Net App or an authorized resellerofNet App products.

5. DETERMINATION OF TUE BEST VALUE; A determination of fair and reasonableness ofprice will be based onprice analysis by the Procuring Contracting Officer ofthe contractor’s offer and/or a comparison ofprevious pricing history, published price list ofsame or similar items, orany other reasonable bases, in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(b).

DESCRIPTION OF MARKET RESEARCH: The requiring activity and contracting activity have conducted market research amongthe multiple award contractors. The requiringactivity certifies thatthe requirement canbe met by a commercial item. The contracting activity conducted market researchamong NetApp resellers. As the market researchwas being conducted. the followingtechniques were utilized: contacting knowledgeable individuals inthe Government and industryregardingniarket capabilities to meet the requirements, as well as reviewing catalogs and other generally available product literathre published bymanufacturers. distributors, and dealers or available online.

NetApp equipment is needed to interoperate and integrate withthe current NetApp storage, which was previously purchased competitively between NetApp and their authorized resellers via NASA SEWP. GWAC’s give an increased discount due to the significant purchase quantities via the contract vehicle. Market research indicated that there are multiple authorized resellers of NetApp through NASA SBWP, Contract award needs to be placed with NetApp, or an authorized reseller ofNetApp products.

In addition, the technical staffat theJoint Staff, assisted bythe negotiator. will continue to scanthe market for potential products with the same capabilities as Net Appts storage. As a result, a continuous scan ofthe market may lead to future competitive requirements.

6. ANY OTHER SUPPORTING FACTS: This procurement us~ the NASA SEWP contracting vehicle and will be solicited and awarded in accordance with FAR Subpart 16.5.

7. ACTIONS TAKEN TO REMOVE BARRIERS TO COMPETITION: All future requirements will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
