## 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.
