Redacted Justification: The initial procurement investigated thirty eight asset management applications but narrowed the field to only four viable options based on our evaluation criteria which were (1) Acquisition-Supports the contracting life cycle of an asset from purchase thru retirement of the asset as well as software license tracking throughout the life cycle of the software; (2) Supported our operating systems-Solaris, Windows, MAC, and Linux; (3) provided features such as searching inside PDFs, customized reports, and document upload (4) Security- Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) or Active Directory groups control as well as support for STIG compliance. Upon further research, we could only confirm after testing within our in-house lab that the Altiris Asset Management product fully supported our evaluation criteria. It was also the only product that included a STIG module within their suite of products. Finally, maintaining the current software in place is more cost effective than purchasing and implementing alternative software. Potential offeror shall be an authorized Symantec Corporation partner and source directly through Symantec, or Symantec authorized channels only, per standard commercial industry practices. Quotes that do not meet this requirement shall be considered technically unacceptable. The evaluation factor(s) for award is; lowest-price, technically acceptable. Any resulting contract or order will be firm-fixed price. Place "SP4707-11-Q-0043" in the subject field of any e-mail correspondence.
