The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division at China Lake, CA intends to procure on an other than full and open competitive basis this requirement. This requirement is sole sourced to Melrose Mac due to unique capability. Melrose Mac was the original vendor who engineered, configured and installed both of the XSANS server system and is aware of our server configuration. Melrose Mac is the only vendor with the specific knowledge of how the system is configured that can integrate the backup solution to our existing XSAN and fibre channel fabric, which has to be extended to cross-communicate between two existing SANs and backup systems with minimal downtime. The integration requires an understanding of the system as a whole and is not just the plugging in of hardware. They will integrate the modern equipment while keeping our data and workflows intact. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals; however, any firm believing it can fulfill the requirement identified above may submit a written response to donell.sims@navy.mil no later than 5 days after the date of publication of this notice, which shall be considered by the agency. The written response shall reference solicitation number N6893618Q0182 and provide a capability statement that clearly indicates the firm's experience, assets, background, and ability to perform the required work without compromising the quality, accuracy, reliability, and schedule.

All responsible sources must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database at the following website: https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/.

Going forward, all new entities registering in GSA's System for Award Management (SAM), as well as existing registrations being updated or renewed, will require the submission of an original, signed notarized letter identifying the authorized Entity Administrator for the entity associated with the Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number before the registration will be activated. It is recommended that all interested parties be aware that processing this additional information may take several days and are proactive in maintaining the SAM registrations in an "Active" status as the government cannot award to an entity without an "Active" SAM registration.
