Synology Storage for HLS

NASA's Shared Services Center is soliciting quotations for Synology Storage equipment specifically designated for Homeland Security (HLS) purposes under Request for Quotation (RFQ) number 80NSSC26922305Q. The procurement is restricted to authorized Synology resellers only, and vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and provide required documentation including CAGE/UEI codes, points of contact, and delivery lead times. The government will evaluate proposals using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) method, meaning the technically compliant offer with the lowest price will be selected for award. Contractors must comply with federal regulations covering telecommunications equipment, child labor, veterans' opportunities, and export controls, and must also disclose any AI technology usage during contract performance in accordance with OMB memo M-25-22. All contractual and technical questions must be submitted in writing by December 26, 2025, with quotations due by January 6, 2026 at 8:00 a.m. CT to Stephanie Graham via email.

This is a Total Small Business set-aside procurement with no identified incumbent contractors. The specific goods required include one 60-bay, 4U rackmount NAS system with redundant power, two expansion units, 168 enterprise hard disk drives (20TB, 3.5" SAS), 12 solid state drives (7TB, SATA), two 10GbE network adapters, six 32GB DDR4 ECC RAM modules, a 5-year Synology Premium Support Service, and a cable management arm. The system must be delivered within 30 days after receipt of order (ARO) to Building 33, Room B221 at 8800 Greenbelt Road, Greenbelt, Maryland 20771. The procurement justification emphasizes the need for this specific Synology brand due to existing team training and system compatibility, with transitioning to alternative products presenting risks related to usability and requiring costly additional testing and training. The total fixed price for the complete system will be determined through the quotation process.
