70 -- 297P0650089 Brand Name or Equal Monitoring Products

This contract pertains to the procurement of additional components for an existing Finisar performance monitoring system used within a Storage Area Network (SAN) environment. The Finisar monitoring hardware and software are distinctive in their ability to monitor traffic via an optical mirror, capturing performance and capacity data during high workloads without impacting server or storage resources. These products ensure no data loss under heavy load, support non-disruptive probe upgrades, and feature clientless hardware monitors that eliminate the need for software updates or maintenance on servers and storage units. The requested components must be fully compatible with the current Finisar-based system, continuing the reliable performance monitoring capabilities already in place. The purchasing preference is for Small Businesses, and suppliers must demonstrate authorization to resell Finisar products. The Department of Commerce’s Patent and Trademark Office in Alexandria, VA, is the contracting agency, with Anice M. Ogden serving as the Contracting Officer and primary point of contact. Interested parties are encouraged to communicate via email rather than phone, specifically through the provided email address. The procurement aligns with NAICS code 511210 and is listed under solicitation number 297P0650089 with the intention to source through GSA Schedule vendors.
