ORDERING:

VMWARE ESI TEAMING PARTNERS - Attachment F

DFARS Section 208.74 directs DoD software buyers and requiring officials to check the DoD ESI website for DoD inventory or an ESA before using another method of acquisition. These steps for the buyer are summarized from the DFARS:

1. Check the Enterprise Agreement Summary Table to determine if software rights or maintenance have already been purchased and are available from DoD inventory. If they are available, purchase the designated software from DoD inventory and reimburse the SPM.
2. If the required software rights or maintenance are not available from inventory or from an ESA, you may use an alternate method of acquisition, subject to laws and policy.
3. If the required software rights or maintenance are not available from inventory but are available from an ESA, you must follow the procedure in the DFARS Section 208.74.
4. If you must obtain the software or software maintenance outside the DoD ESA, you may seek a waiver from a management official designated by your DoD Component.

DoD agencies: Follow the procedures in DFARS 208.405-70(b) and (c). Requests for Quotation (RFQs) may be posted to GSA's electronic RFQ system, e-Buy, which allows ordering activities to post requirements and obtain quotes electronically. Ordering activities may access e-Buy at www.ebuy.gsa.gov. While the use of performance specifications is preferred to encourage offerors to propose innovative solutions, the use of brand name or equal purchase descriptions may be advantageous under certain circumstances. Brand name or equal purchase descriptions must include, in addition to the brand name, a general description of those salient physical, functional, or performance characteristics of the brand name item that an "equal" item must meet to be acceptable for award. In competitive RFQs, include a description of the basis upon which the contracting officer will make the selection.

Government prime contractors: Follow the terms of this BPA, the GSA schedule, and your contract and the direction of its Government contracting officer in accordance with FAR Part 51 for ordering from Federal Supply Schedules.

Professional services: This single BPA may be used for acquiring IT Professional services when defined as individual tasks.

Contractor team arrangements per FAR 9.6 may be utilized under this BPA.

Open Market (non-contract) items may be added to a FSS BPA individual order, provided that the items are clearly labeled as such on the order, all applicable regulations have been followed, and price reasonableness has been determined by the ordering activity for the open market items.
