About this opportunity
The United States Marine Corps issued a brand-name justification for sole-source procurement of NetApp data storage hardware and services, with a response deadline of June 8, 2026, under a total small business set-aside.
The Marine Corps Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance Enterprise (MCISRE) Insider Threat Program requires replacement of end-of-life network storage hardware with a NetApp All-Flash Storage Array system. The procurement includes one AFF C30 model, two AFF C30r2 HA systems, two NVMe expansion shelves, 24 drive packs with 15.3TB Self-Encrypting Drives, NetApp ONTAP One software licensed for 734 terabytes of capacity, networking modules and cables, power supplies, and 24 months of government-tier support services comprising SupportEdge Protect, 4-hour parts replacement, and non-returnable drive retention for classified data security. Professional services for secure deployment and data migration are included.
The justification establishes that NetApp is the sole manufacturer capable of meeting the requirement due to critical interoperability constraints with the existing classified environment, which is entirely built on NetApp's proprietary ONTAP ecosystem. Alternative solutions from Dell, Pure Storage, and HPE were rejected because transitioning to non-NetApp storage would necessitate complete architectural redesign, break native data replication protocols, require extensive staff retraining, and result in substantial cost duplication.
The contracting officer will compete this requirement among eight authorized small business resellers operating under the Department of the Navy Enterprise Software Licensing agreement on the NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) contract vehicle, ensuring fair and reasonable pricing through competition and verification against established NASA SEWP contract rates. Base delivery is September 29, 2026, with one 12-month base period plus two 12-month option periods.
