BROADCOM VMWARE LICENSES

AI Summary

The Department of Defense, specifically the Air Force, is seeking to procure Broadcom/VMware licenses for their virtual infrastructure. This includes VMware Cloud Foundation and Avi Load Balancer licenses over multiple years. The justification for this procurement is based on the unique compatibility of the software with existing infrastructure, which prevents switching to alternative products.

Description

FAR 8.405-6 requires an ordering activity to justify its actions when
restricting consideration of schedule
contractors to fewer than required in FAR 8.405-1.
FAR 8.405-6(b)(1), “The item is peculiar to one manufacturer. A brand name
item, whether available on one or more schedule contracts, is an item
peculiar to one manufacturer.”
This software is the entirety of the virtual infrastructure that is currently
operating on all of our networks. To overcome the restricted consideration,
the agency would be required to completely redeploy the entire virtual
infrastructure for all of our networks. There could potentially be all kinds of
issues with trying to deploy different applications for the virtual
infrastructure. No other software is compatible with the current
infrastructure and there would be a significant duplication of
cost/labor/training/possible downtime that would be associated with
switching to another virtual infrastructure product which would not be
recovered through competition.
