    Data Diode RFQ Rev2 SAM.gov.docx
    The Space Force is issuing a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for Data Diode Software Support, a 100% small business set-aside. This RFQ, number 30 December 2025, seeks factory-new items for Kirtland AFB, New Mexico, with responses due by January 15, 2026. Contractors must provide an itemized quote, a price cover sheet including total cost, company details (CAGE Code, POC, UEI), and warranty information. Evaluation will be based on Lowest Priced, Technically Acceptable (LPTA) criteria, requiring offerors to submit technical descriptions and verify compliance with DFARS clause 252.211-7003. Proposals must be submitted via email to Jamaal Ramey (jamaal.ramey.1@spaceforce.mil) and Paige Thompson (paige.thompson@spaceforce.mil).
    JA Data Diode brand name_Redacted.pdf
    This document is a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity or to Use Brand-Name Restriction for the acquisition of a Data Diode for AFRL/RVIO. The brand-name product, a DREN Network Appliance, is required for onsite support with installation, configuration, testing, and accreditation to separate an unclassified/untrusted network and the DREN at AFRL PRS Kirtland Air Force Base. The justification for restricting consideration to a brand-name item is the existing network design of DREN, which necessitates a single vendor architecture to ensure a homogeneous network, interoperability, and to avoid impacting existing service contracts, additional training, and secondary/third-order effects. The anticipated cost will be fair and reasonable as the requirement will be posted on SAM.gov. The Data Diode product is also on the NSA approved Diode list. The document states that the brand-name only source is not an issue as numerous business vendors can provide the hardware, and the request is vital due to interoperability and technician training.
