THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY SOLICITATION; QUOTATIONS ARE BEING REQUESTED AND A WRITTEN SOLICITATION DOCUMENT WILL NOT BE ISSUED. This solicitation is a Request for Proposal (RFP). This solicitation document and incorporated clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-62. Offerors will be responsible for obtaining related amendments to this solicitation, if any, from www.fbo.gov. It is the responsibility of each potential offeror to monitor www.fbo.gov for any amendments or other information related to this solicitation.

The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 423430 and the size standard is 100 employees. NIST has already implemented LAN Desk Management Suite and LAN Desk Security Suite to meet agency requirements to provide managed desktop services including asset management, software deployment and patch management. LAN Desk Management Suite has been in production at NIST for 10 years and is an integral tool for securing and supporting personal computers at NIST. Maintenance for these LAN Desk Management Suite and LAN Desk Security Suite licenses includes continued technical support, upgrade assurance and continued content subscriptions for security and patching. The impact on NIST to discontinue the maintenance on these licenses would be an interruption of service and an increase in security risks. This would hinder the work that is performed here at NIST. The renewal of the maintenance for the existing LAN Desk suites will allow NIST to continue to function without interruption. Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, does not apply to this acquisition because this is renewal for items that were already purchased previously. ***INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS *** Interested offerors shall provide firm-fixed-pricing for the below: Line Item 0001: LANDesk Management Suite MNt LDMSPMA-M Quantity: 7250 EA Period of Performance: 03/01/2013-02/28/2014 Line Item 0002: LANDesk Security Suite- Subscription- 12 months Quantity: 7250 EA Period of Performance: 03/01/2013-02/28/2014 The offeror shall hold the prices in its offer firm for 60 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers.
