Request for Sources Only: Netscout

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is seeking procurement of NetScout network monitoring hardware, software, and support services for the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) in fiscal year 2025. The acquisition includes specific technical equipment such as two NetScout Certified InfiniStreamNG Software units, accompanying network interface cards, servers with high-performance specifications, and related software licenses. The procurement requires comprehensive MasterCare Support featuring 24/7 technical support, phone consulting, and a 2-hour onsite response time. Critical technical requirements mandate that the vendor's management dashboard must monitor network devices, capture and analyze network traffic at the packet level, handle 10,000 simultaneous endpoints, and provide comprehensive network diagnostics. The pre-solicitation notice (Sources Sought) is open from March 17 to March 24, 2025, with the solicitation number SP4704-25-SS-8303, and the delivery location is the DCAA facility in Fort Belvoir, Virginia.

The pre-solicitation notice does not indicate any specific set-aside designations, meaning the opportunity appears open to all qualifying vendors. The procurement is being initiated due to current network monitoring devices approaching End of Life (EoL) and End of Support (EoS) status, suggesting a critical replacement need. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the technical specifications suggest a sophisticated and potentially high-value procurement involving multiple hardware and software components. The procurement includes two NetScout Certified InfiniStreamNG Software units, two InfiniStreamNG Servers, one nGeniusONE software license, and one Dell-certified application server. The timeline for services appears to align with fiscal year 2025, with an immediate need to replace existing network infrastructure and maintain continuous monitoring capabilities for the DCAA's network environment.
