70 -- Cyber Security A/V

The contract pertains to the SmartBUY initiative led by the General Services Administration (GSA), designed to establish an enterprise licensing agreement (ELA) for major federal cabinet-level agencies to acquire Sophos cyber security products. This program, initiated under the Clinger Cohen Act of 1996 and coordinated by the Office of Management and Budget, consolidates federal purchasing power to secure optimal pricing and favorable terms for software products. The current announcement is not a solicitation for proposals nor a competitive procurement, but rather a notification of the intention to make these cybersecurity offerings available through a streamlined government-wide agreement. The contract, identified by solicitation number TF-00-T-06-SB-A-0004 and posted on October 21, 2005, is managed by the GSA's Federal Acquisition Service Center for IT Schedule Programs based in Washington, DC. The primary points of contact are Contracting Officer Mike L. Citino and Contract Specialist Michael W. Hargrove, who can be reached via email or phone. Interested parties are encouraged to direct inquiries to the SmartBUY Program Office. This initiative supports the government's effort to improve cybersecurity procurement efficiency and cost-effectiveness by leveraging enterprise-wide licensing arrangements under the NAICS code 519190, related to computer software publishing.
