Enterprise Virtualization Rapid Integration Solution (EVRIS) - Call for Solutionview on SAM.gov

OPPORTUNITY OVERVIEW & AWARD VEHICLES The Department of the Army is issuing this Call for Solutions (CFS) to acquire innovative commercial virtualization software solutions and associated services. The goal is to diversify the Army's enterprise virtualization portfolio, increase market competition, and reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) across its global computing estate. Award Mechanisms: This CFS may result in the award of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) contracts or non-FAR agreements (such as Other Transactions) In Accordance With (IAW) DFARS 212.70 – Defense Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) . Other Transaction (OT) agreements awarded under this CFS are not subject to the FAR or its supplements. Scope & Scaling: The Government intends to award multiple Enterprise Contracts open to all of the Army, with plans to scale to the Department of War at a later date. On-Ramping: The Government reserves the right to re-open this CFS and leave it open on an ongoing basis to on-ramp additional offerors as desired. THE CHALLENGE & ENVIRONMENT The Army operates a massive, globally distributed network spanning more than 750,000 endpoints across enterprise, regional, edge, and tactical environments. This unique infrastructure spans disconnected and connected domains, multiple security classifications, and logically or physically separated environments (including air-gapped and cross-domain boundaries). To break vendor lock-in, the Army requires a new, multi-vendor approach. Solutions must enable modular, consumption-based scaling and support the seamless migration of existing workloads without operational disruption.
