BRAND NAME JUSTIFICATION: Dell desktop computers are required to provide the reliability and functionality required by the Office of Overseas Building Operations. The equipment is for use in the OBO Community and is used by multiple personnel constantly. Dell is one of the main computer equipment manufacturers and is known for reliability, functionality, cost effectiveness and maintainability improved through R&D. OBO/IM/NOMB has diligently researched three major computer companies with the following criteria - Cost, reliability, CPU speed, CPU manufacturer, CPU configuration, memory, memory expansion, bus speed, video memory, video speed, display size, display dps, ), maintainability (R&D), and reliability. BRAND NAME JUSTIFICATION: The R&D portion is important as this saves man-hours in maintenance and repair times. The Dell equipment is approved by Diplomatic Security for both for standalone use and for Main State SDI use. If other than the specific Dell desktops required are procured, there will likely be functionality issues in various individual divisions which will result in the division procuring the equipment a second time to get the functionality and reliability they require. The cost savings are in man-hours for M & R, functionality, speed, and upgradability. Not meeting the above wastes man-hours and budget. No Remanufactured, No Refrubished equipment is acceptable. New only. Added additional bid terms CCR Requirement - Company must be registered on Central Contractor Registration (CCR) before an award could be made to them. If company is not registered in CCR, they may do so by going to CCR web site at http://www.ccr.gov.
