Quick Summary
The Naval Research Laboratory has issued a NOTICE OF CANCELLATION for RFQ N0017326Q5612, which sought proposals for Microsoft Exchange Server. This solicitation has been canceled because it was determined the requirement should have been issued as a Brand Name Only solicitation. A new, reissued solicitation, RFQ N0017326Q5612-2, has been published to reflect the correct acquisition requirements.
Scope of Change
This notice formally cancels the original RFQ N0017326Q5612. The primary reason for cancellation is the need to procure Microsoft Exchange Server as a Brand Name Only item, which was not accurately reflected in the initial solicitation. Vendors who incurred costs in response to the canceled RFQ are responsible for those expenses.
