SOLE MAKE and MODEL JUSTIFICATION Cisco Switch Refresh

BACKGROUND:

The RDT&E Infrastructure is designed to meet the research and development needs at Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) to support both the Division's mission and its associated functions. The RDT&E Infrastructure provides the command with internal network services and supports external network connectivity via the Defense Research and Engineering Network (DREN). NUWCDIVNPT infrastructure is comprised of Core Infrastructure (routers and switches), ASECC (a shared high performance computing cluster), Information Assurance (IA) Suite and Scanners (Hercules, HBSS, IDS, Firewall and Retina Security Scanner), and RDT&E Server Farm. This requirement is for Cisco equipment utilized in the NUWCDIVNPT RDT&E Unclassified Network Infrastructure (Lab 902).

JUSTIFICATION:

NUWCDIVNPT must adhere to Network Infrastructure Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) and Network Policy STIG to maintain or replace equipment for Information Assurance (IA) compliance. Cisco Systems equipment is required to replace and upgrade existing hardware which has reached the End-of-Support (EoS). These components will extend the lifespan of the current equipment and provide the necessary redundancy with the current network infrastructure deployed in the unclassified network infrastructure and Data Center.

Procuring these devices will allow the current configuration and setup to be transitioned without modifications and allow a future upgrade to take place without replacing all of the equipment at the same time. Without procuring these devices, the maintenance, IOS upgrades, and troubleshooting with vendor support will not be possible. This will eventually lead to a non-IA compliant network with a potential consequence of a shutdown. Scientists and engineers that depend on the network infrastructure for research and development will be unable to perform their work.

Cisco products and maintenance support can be purchased from authorized/certified value-added resellers. In order to procure Cisco equipment, the vendor must be certified to the level of Premier, Silver, or Gold Cisco authorized partners (list of available partners:

1300619454 www.cisco.com/go/partnerlocator). Multiple vendors, including Service Disabled Veteran Owned and Small Businesses, are certified Cisco resellers.
