VMWare

The Department of the Interior's Interior Business Center is seeking to procure 64 VMWare Cloud Foundation 5 one-year licenses through a Request for Quotation (RFQ) under the NASA Solutions for Enterprise-wide Procurement (SEWP) V Government-wide Acquisition Contract. The solicitation is a brand-name only procurement with a focus on acquiring specific software licenses to be delivered by July 25, 2026, with a performance period from July 26, 2025 to July 25, 2026. Potential contractors must be NASA SEWP V contract holders and demonstrate compliance with technical specifications, with the source selection method being "Lowest Price Technically Acceptable." Evaluation criteria will include the contractor's NASA SEWP V contract status, VMWare relationship, technical compliance, and contractor performance ratings. Quotations must be submitted via the NASA SEWP Quote Request Tool by 10:00 AM Eastern Time on April 21, 2025, with contractors required to be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM).

The solicitation is specifically set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), providing opportunities for veteran-owned firms in the federal marketplace. While no specific incumbent contractors are mentioned, the RFQ requires detailed pricing, product specifications, delivery information, and Section 508 compliance verification. The government intends to award a single Firm-Fixed-Price Delivery Order to the most advantageous quoter, with the procurement falling under NAICS category 541519 for Other Computer Related Services and PSC category DA10 for IT and Telecom Business Application Software as a Service. The total quantity of 64 licenses indicates a targeted, specific technology procurement for the Department of the Interior's operational needs. Contractors will need to demonstrate not only technical capability but also their status as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business to be considered for this opportunity.
