The ESI web site can be viewed at www.esi.mil.

BPA SUMMARY:

DISA, on behalf of the DoD Enterprise Software Initiative (ESI), has established a Department of Defense (DoD) Ordering Agreement with Carahsoft Technology Corp. for Red Hat, JBoss, CollabNet, Alfresco, Pentaho and MySQL, technical services, and Annual Support Subscriptions. Items available are listed on the ESI site under Designated Software Categories.

AUTHORIZED USERS AND POINTS OF CONTACT:

1. Authorized Users. The BPA is open for ordering by all Department of Defense (DoD) Components. For the purposes of this agreement, a DoD component is defined as: the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), the Military Departments, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Combatant Commands, the Inspector General of the Department of Defense (DoD IG), the Defense Agencies, the DoD Field Activities, the U. S. Coast Guard, NATO, the Intelligence Community and FMS with a Letter of Authorization. GSA or other applicable ordering organizations/agencies are authorized to place orders under this BPA on behalf of DoD end users and must comply with DFARS 208.7400. This BPA is also open to DoD Contractors authorized to order in accordance with the FAR Part 51.

ORDERING:

1. 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 related services have already been acquired and are available from DoD inventory. If they are available, then acquire the designated software from DoD inventory and reimburse the SPM.



2. If the required software rights or related services are not available from inventory or from an ESA, then use an alternate method of acquisition, subject to laws and policy.



3. If the required software rights or related services are not available from inventory but are available from an ESA, then review the terms and conditions and prices, in accordance with otherwise applicable source selection requirements. Per FAR 8.405-3(b)(2), where multiple BPAs are available, before placing an order exceeding the micro-purchase threshold, forward the requirement to the BPA holders with request for spot discounts and evaluate the responses received to determine which BPA holder represents the best value.



4. If existing ESAs do not represent the best value to the Government for the software rights or related services, then seek a waiver from the SPM before continuing with alternative acquisition methods.

This BPA will be posted to the DoD ESI website as part of the ESI program. The web site can be viewed at http://www.esi.mil. The Government will also post this contract to the following sites:
