The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure support and maintenance services for A10 Thunder 1040S ADC Appliances through a solicitation designated as a brand name requirement exclusively for A10 Inc or authorized distributors. The procurement encompasses four units of Thunder 1040S ADC Appliances with specific configurations including 1U form factor, single CPU, 5x1GC, 4x10GF, 16GB memory, SSD, and H/W SSL capabilities, along with associated support services. Key contract requirements mandate that offerors be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and meet the qualifications to provide OEM support or authorized distribution services for A10 products. The government will evaluate proposals based on technical factors, delivery date, price, and past performance, with no specified order of importance among these criteria.

This solicitation is set aside as a 100 percent Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) contract, with A10 Inc identified as the required manufacturer based on security requirements and the critical operational role of this equipment at the Government's facility. The procurement calls for the delivery of four Thunder 1040S ADC Appliances to SRF and JRMC Yokosuka in Japan, with a performance period running from March 14, 2026 through March 13, 2027 and a required delivery date of March 1, 2026. While specific award values are not disclosed in the solicitation documents, the size standard is established at 250 employees with a dollar threshold of $34,000,000.00 for the WOSB set-aside designation. The contract is anticipated to be firm-fixed-price in nature, covering both the appliance units and associated support services including non-return disk 1-year tier 1 support and gold support options. Place of performance is specified as SRF and JRMC Yokosuka, located in Japan, with equipment supporting critical functions including load balancing of an SSO solution, high availability for a SIEM front end, and local SharePoint operations.
