This is a special notice for a brand name only requirement. 10 CONS/LGCB at the United States Air Force Academy received and approved a Sole Source justification for the purchase of Aruba Hardware/Software Maintenance Support. The North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) is 334210 and the business size standard is 1,000 Employees. Aruba Wireless is the only brand name and no other item will satisfy the USAFA requirement for the following reasons: (A) The wireless network is vital to the successful operation and support of USAFA's academic mission. Since initial installation, our current wireless infrastructure consists of Aruba controllers and associated equipment. This request is to procure maintenance support for USAFA's Aruba wireless proprietary equipment. Aruba and their respective resellers are the only authorized vendors that can provide maintenance support for their equipment. Aruba is the only wireless solution accredited by the AF. To deploy another wireless solution would require an expensive and time consuming certification and accreditation process. (B) The wireless network on USAFA is rapidly expanding and our Aruba infrastructure has proven to be very reliable and easy to manage from an administrator standpoint. It is very important we stay consistent with this network equipment as it pertains to performance, troubleshooting and training of 10 CS personnel. The Aruba equipment is proprietary. If we attempt to use different products or maintenance services on our wireless network we will have compatibility issues. This in-turn will cost the government more time and funds to troubleshoot and repair the network as well as degrade the mission of USAFA. The requirement is for the following: BASE CLIN 0001, Aruba Maintenance from 30 September 2014 through 29 September 2015 to Include: QTY: 1 SN1-2400-48-US NEXT-DAY SUPPORT FOR 2400-48-US (1 YEAR) QTY: 1 SN1-LIC-2400-PEF SUPPORT FOR LIC-2400-PEF (1 YEAR) QTY: 1 SN1-LIC-PEF-1024 SUPPORT FOR LIC-PEF-1024 (1 YEAR) QTY: 1 SN1-3400-USF1 NEXT-DAY SUPPORT FOR 3400-USF1 (1 YEAR) QTY: 3 SN1-M3mk1-S-F1 NEXT-DAY SUPPORT FOR M3mk1-S-F1 (1 YEAR) QTY: 6 SN1-HW-PSU-400 NEXT-DAY SUPPORT FOR HWPSU- 400 (1 YEAR) QTY: 3 SN1-LIC-256-AP SUPPORT FOR LIC-256-AP (1 YEAR) QTY: 3 SN1-LIC-128-AP SUPPORT FOR LIC-128-AP (1 YEAR) QTY: 3 SN1-LIC-PEF-8192 SUPPORT FOR LIC-PEF-8192 (1 YEAR) QTY: 3 SN1-LIC-WIP-256 SUPPORT FOR LIC-WIP-256 (1 YEAR) QTY: 3 SN1-LIC-WIP-128 SUPPORT FOR LIC-WIP-128 (1 YEAR) QTY: 2 SN1-6KBASE2PSU200F NEXT-DAY SUPT-6K-BASE- 2PSU-200-FIPS-1YR QTY: 1 SA1-LIC-CP-OB-5K SUPPORT FOR LIC-CP-OB-5K (1 YEAR) QTY: 4 SA1-CP-HW-5K SUPPORT FOR CP-HW-5K (1 YEAR) QTY: 1 SN1-S3500-24P-US NEXT-DAY SUPPORT FOR S3500-24P-US (1 YR) QTY: 24 SN1-S3500-24P-US NEXT-DAY SUPPORT FOR S3500-24P-US (1 YR) QTY: 4 SN1-S3500-24P-US NEXT-DAY SUPPORT FOR S3500-24P-US (1 YR) QTY: 2 SN1-S3500-24P-US NEXT-DAY SUPPORT FOR S3500-24P-US (1 YR) QTY: 1 SA1-LIC-CP-GM-5K NBD SUPPORT FOR LIC-CPGM- 5K (1 YEAR) OPTION CLIN 0002, Aruba Maintenance 30 September 2015 through 29 September 2016 to Include: QTY: 1 SN1-2400-48-US NEXT-DAY SUPPORT FOR 2400-48-US (1 YEAR) QTY: 1 SN1-LIC-2400-PEF SUPPORT FOR LIC-2400-PEF (1 YEAR) QTY: 1 SN1-LIC-PEF-1024 SUPPORT FOR LIC-PEF-1024 (1 YEAR) QTY: 1 SN1-3400-USF1 NEXT-DAY SUPPORT FOR 3400-USF1 (1 YEAR) QTY: 3 SN1-M3mk1-S-F1 NEXT-DAY SUPPORT FOR M3mk1-S-F1 (1 YEAR) QTY: 6 SN1-HW-PSU-400 NEXT-DAY SUPPORT FOR HWPSU- 400 (1 YEAR) QTY: 3 SN1-LIC-256-AP SUPPORT FOR LIC-256-AP (1 YEAR) QTY: 3 SN1-LIC-128-AP SUPPORT FOR LIC-128-AP (1 YEAR) QTY: 3 SN1-LIC-PEF-8192 SUPPORT FOR LIC-PEF-8192 (1 YEAR) QTY: 3 SN1-LIC-WIP-256 SUPPORT FOR LIC-WIP-256 (1 YEAR) QTY: 3 SN1-LIC-WIP-128 SUPPORT FOR LIC-WIP-128 (1 YEAR) QTY: 2 SN1-6KBASE2PSU200F NEXT-DAY SUPT-6K-BASE- 2PSU-200-FIPS-1YR QTY: 1 SA1-LIC-CP-OB-5K SUPPORT FOR LIC-CP-OB-5K (1 YEAR) QTY: 4 SA1-CP-HW-5K SUPPORT FOR CP-HW-5K (1 YEAR) QTY: 1 SN1-S3500-24P-US NEXT-DAY SUPPORT FOR S3500-24P-US (1 YR) QTY: 24 SN1-S3500-24P-US NEXT-DAY SUPPORT FOR S3500-24P-US (1 YR) QTY: 4 SN1-S3500-24P-US NEXT-DAY SUPPORT FOR S3500-24P-US (1 YR) QTY: 2 SN1-S3500-24P-US NEXT-DAY SUPPORT FOR S3500-24P-US (1 YR) QTY: 1 SA1-LIC-CP-GM-5K NBD SUPPORT FOR LIC-CPGM- 5K (1 YEAR) This notice is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation for bids or proposals.

USAFA Rapid Acquisition Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO)
Solicitation # FA7000-25-S-C001
The USAFA Rapid Acquisition Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) FA7000-25-S-C001 is an umbrella solicitation designed to acquire innovative commercial technologies and services to support the United States Air Force Academy's mission in leadership, academics, fitness, and professionalism. Operating as a CSO with Calls, this vehicle does not request proposals upon initial issuance but instead establishes a framework for future requirements. The government issues specific Calls for proposals as amendments to the CSO, with awards typically taking the form of FAR Part 12 commercial contracts or Other Transactions (OT). Proposals are evaluated based on technical merit, importance to agency programs, and funds availability, with the government seeking the best overall value. To date, the CSO has issued six distinct Calls focusing on diverse operational needs. These include strategic admissions outreach (Call 001), military exoskeleton technology to enhance warfighter lethality (Call 002), autonomous virtual perimeter monitoring for situational awareness (Call 003), and warfighter training support services for a 47-month cadet continuum (Call 004). More recent efforts include the implementation of AI-powered automated high school and college transcript processing (Call 005) and a comprehensive brand analysis to develop a Strategic Brand Roadmap (Call 006). Due to the handling of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), certain requirements, particularly for AI and IT solutions, restrict participation to U.S. Persons, including U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents.
