70 -- Cyber security products

The General Services Administration (GSA) SmartBUY office, acting as the Office of Management and Budget's executive agent, is planning to establish an enterprise licensing agreement for Computer Associates products and services, focusing on Information Assurance Information Technology products, particularly Anti-Virus Software Licensing. This initiative is part of the SmartBUY program, which was created under the Clinger Cohen Act of 1996 to consolidate the federal government's purchasing power and secure optimal pricing, along with preferred terms and conditions, for software licensing across agencies. This announcement signals GSA's intent to set up a major enterprise-wide agreement for a cabinet-level agency, rather than soliciting competitive proposals or issuing a formal Request for Proposal (RFP). The contract opportunity, identified by solicitation number TF-00-T-06-SB-A-0005, falls under the NAICS code 519190 and is managed by the GSA/FAS Center for IT Schedule Program located in Washington, DC. The contract focuses on cyber security products and involves points of contact including Contracting Officer Mike L. Citino and Contract Specialist Michael W. Hargrove, reachable via email and phone. Interested parties seeking further information are encouraged to contact the SmartBUY Program Office directly through the provided contact details or visit the designated SmartBUY webpage. This initiative represents a strategic move to streamline federal procurement of crucial cybersecurity software, specifically antivirus solutions, enhancing government-wide cybersecurity infrastructure efficiently and cost-effectively.
