It is recommended that the Department of State use other than full and open competition under only one responsible source to procure Dell 1855 and 1955 blade servers for use by Bureau of Diplomatic Security, Chief Technology Office. The requiring office is the Bureau of Diplomatic Security (DS), Chief Technology Office. This justification and approval is for a name brand justification for the Dell 1855 and 1955 blade servers. The use of name brand is essential to the Government?s requirements for Department of State DS server consolidation and standardization. DS has selected Dell blade servers as the standard server platform for the entire Bureau of Diplomatic Security IT enterprise. Fifty percent of DS? server inventory has already been converted to Dell 1855 and 1955 servers. By standardizing on Dell Blade servers, DS will realize savings in the form of Dell Systems Management (central management of enterprise Dell server and storage devices), component commonality (memory, hard drives, management cards and more), maintenance and warranty costs, support personnel skill sets requirements, and investment protection (migration path to future Blade Server architectures). The Bureau of Diplomatic Security for the Department of State has a requirement for additional Dell 1855 and 1955 blade servers to further consolidate and standardize the enterprise. The Dell blade servers are all being purchased with the same baseline configuration. This configuration will support all known and foreseen needs in the enterprise, including web, Oracle, Exchange, Terminal, Print, and Blackberry servers. These additional blade servers will be in addition to the servers that have already been purchased for the existing enterprise.
