2024年7月26日 - 1:00AM
F5, today announced that it has been named a vendor on the
Department of Defense (DoD) Enterprise Software Initiative (ESI)
blanket purchase agreement (BPA) awarded to Carahsoft Technology
Corp., The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider®. The BPA is
signed for a four-year period of performance through September 4,
2027.
Under the agreement, Carahsoft will facilitate
access to cybersecurity software products, which include software
licenses, subscriptions, maintenance, support, and services from F5
to support Information Technology (IT) operations across the DoD
enterprise.
“We are pleased to achieve this milestone of being
added to Carahsoft’s DoD ESI BPA. This BPA will provide the DoD, as
well as other Federal agencies that fall within scope, an
alternative contracting approach to acquiring F5’s application
delivery and security solutions and services with better discounts
relative to GSA and faster procurement cycles to deliver our
technology. In fact, we have already witnessed the benefits of this
BPA with a couple of USAF acquisitions last Government Fiscal
Year-End and are currently working on other DoD procurements
leveraging the BPA.” Tim Clark, F5, Director, US Defense.
The BPA aligns with the Federal Acquisition
Streamlining Act and with IT Category Management best practices,
with the aim of minimizing the costs associated with traditional
procurement processes. These processes include sourcing, technical
document and solicitation development, contract term negotiations,
and offer evaluations.
F5 software solutions are readily accessible under
Blanket Purchase Agreement N66001-23-A-0049 through Carahsoft’s GSA
Schedule No. 47QSWA18D008F. For detailed procurement information,
