About this opportunity
The Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency has awarded contract NNG15SC34B on a sole-source basis to procure Cisco Video Teleconferencing modernization and maintenance services, including COTS hardware, software licenses, and OEM support, under a firm-fixed-price delivery order on the NASA SEWP V Government-wide acquisition contract.
The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3406(c) and FAR 16.504-3(a)(2)(i), invoking the only-one-responsible-source exception. DCSA's rationale centers on the proprietary nature of its existing Cisco endpoint infrastructure, which requires native Cisco backend systems for secure call routing and cryptographic key exchange. The procurement encompasses next-generation Cisco VTC endpoints, codecs, Cisco Meeting Server and Cisco Expressway infrastructure components, Video Quality Conference Manager perpetual and subscription software licenses, and Cisco OEM sustainment services including technical support, firmware updates, and security patches. DCSA asserts that only Cisco can legally provide the Department of War Impact Level 5 security-mandated firmware updates and patches, and that transitioning to alternative manufacturers would impose unacceptable cost duplication and operational disruption across the global VTC endpoint inventory. Market research conducted April 1 through May 25, 2026, confirmed the lack of native interoperability in alternative brands and security certification bottlenecks for non-Cisco systems. The contract includes a one-year base period plus four one-year option periods, funded with FY26 Working Capital Funds. Price reasonableness will be established through competitive offers from authorized Cisco resellers within NASA SEWP V, published price lists, and an Independent Government Cost Estimate; certified cost or pricing data are not required.
