About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center issued a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for the procurement of one NetApp C30 Storage Area Network (SAN) two-node storage array with associated cabling, components, software, installation services, maintenance, and support for the VA Informatics and Computing Infrastructure (VINCI) program. The justification for sole-source procurement to NetApp is based on the existing VINCI Statistical Analysis Software (SAS) Grid storage environment being entirely designed around NetApp storage devices with proprietary source code and embedded software that competing products cannot replicate; market research conducted between November 2025 and January 2026 confirmed that alternative solutions from Pure Storage, Dell EMC, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise lack required compatibility and would entail estimated costs of $4,000,000 and 12-month implementation delays. Thundercat Technology LLC, located in Reston, Virginia, was awarded the contract (NNG15SD26B) under the NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) V Governmentwide Acquisition Contract (GWAC) for $560,901.94 on April 23, 2026. The storage solution includes 16 2X15.3 terabyte NVMe solid state drives, NetApp ONTAP One operating system, SnapMirror Cloud software, and 24/7 hardware support with four-hour on-site response time, with hardware delivery required within 30 days and a base support period of 12 months followed by four 12-month option periods.
