- Description
- MS Premier Support J&A The purpose of this action is to acquire Microsoft Premier Support through which EUCOM will receive the following: support account management and Designated Support Engineering (Collaboration) for access to Microsoft program managers, developers, and support professional covering key areas of Microsoft technology. The proposed contract will provide required services to customers within EUCOM. USEUCOM's network is heavily dependent on Microsoft services. Loss of Microsoft Premier Support would affect EUCOM's Information Assurance posture and remove reach back to Microsoft for integration, planning, design, and network issue problem-solving. Microsoft Premier Support provides support for messaging, platforms, Structured Query Language databases, software deployment, network management, and collaboration infrastructure. Loss of the Premier Support would cause EUCOM to rely solely on the CITS/SRA contractors who may have to work out of scope of their current contract and expertise; thus, incurring additional costs to the current Cost Plus Incentive contract. These additional costs could exceed the cost of the Microsoft Premier Support. Microsoft Premier Support helps EUCOM manage risk, reduce project costs, and drives network innovation. We intend to purchase the required support by awarding a competitive firm fixed price delivery order to one of the Microsoft reseller on the GSA Schedule 70. Fair opportunity will be given to all Microsoft authorize reseller listed on schedule 70. A brand name justification has been approved and is being posted with this announcement. The period of performance of this requirement will be a one-year from award date. Market Research has revealed that more than one Microsoft reseller can provide the required package and support. Responses to this announcement must be emailed directly to Rafael Manzano at rafael.a.manzano2.civ@mail.mil
