The GovGuam Symantec Anti Virus Agreement allows all Government of Guam (GovGuam) branches and agencies to acquire Anti Virus Licenses at reduced prices. GovGuam currently has a license for up to 2500 computers over the next three (3) years ending September 30, 2010. This license was procured by the Bureau of Information Technology under the Office of the Governor.

This number (2500) was based on a survey that was conducted in November 2006. The agency breakdown is as follows:

BBMR		27
GPLS		61
AG-Child Support		6
DPW		100
GPD		225
DPHSS		600
REVTAX		200
DOC		75
DOL/AHRD		100
GOVOFFICE		50
DLM		75
DOA		60
PORT AUTHORITY OF GUAM		110
GPSS		500
	Identified Total	2,189
OTHER AGENCIES		311
	Grand Total	2,500

These numbers have likely changed as of February 2008 so there will be provisions for agencies to procure additional licenses as needed.

GovGuam agencies on the list above automatically qualify for the number of licenses indicated.  If your agency is not included in the list above, your computer count was estimated and placed under the “other agencies” category because we did not receive a response to the survey conducted. Requests for licenses by unlisted agencies will be accommodated on a first-come-first-served basis.

Acquiring Anti Virus Software under the GovGuam Agreement

2. Contact the DOA Data Processing Help Desk at 475-1229 or send an email to antivirus@guam.gov to arrange for the installation of the anti-virus software. Agencies with IT departments will be issued CDs once they complete orientation meetings with DOA Data Processing staff.
3. If the number of installed copies at an agency exceeds the original allocation listed above, the agency will need to put in a requisition for the additional licenses.  The requisition must indicate: Anti Virus Software Vendor: Net Enterprises Vendor #: N0096735.
4. DOA Data Processing will run an audit report to verify the actual number of licenses installed. This report will be submitted to the agencies and BBMR for proper accounting.
5. It is the responsibility of the procuring department to adhere to the licensing requirements of Symantec Corporation and prevent the unauthorized use of the anti-virus software.
