Cisco Systems - Servers and Licenses

The Department of Defense, specifically the 47th Communication Squadron at Laughlin Air Force Base in Texas, awarded contract FA309921FG029 to World Wide Technology for the procurement of Cisco Systems servers, licenses, and accessories. This brand-name purchase, estimated at 80,000 dollars, was executed under FAR Part 8.002 and FAR 8.405-6 to address an urgent and compelling need. The requirement was driven by the necessity to replace end-of-life and end-of-support authentication servers and to implement critical network security through ISE hardware and software. The procurement was facilitated through GSA contract vehicles after market research identified World Wide Technology as a capable vendor. The place of performance for this action is located in Del Rio, Texas. Although the notice was not strictly required under FAR part 8.405-6, it was posted to potentially increase the pool of available contractors for future requirements. The action is categorized under NAICS code 811212.
