Description of Items: The IRM/SMART Program recommends a brand name procurement of the following equipment: Part Number Description *BDL380G5-4-4-SSC1 SMART Configured HP DL380 4MB Server *BDL380G5-4-8-SSC1a SMART Configured HP DL380 8MB Server *BDL380G5-4-4-SSC2 SMART Configured HP DL380 4MB Server BDL380G5-4-8-*SSC2a SMART Configured HP DL380 8MB Server *BDL580G4-2-8-SSC3 SMART Configured HP DL580 Server *AF002A/Af054A HP Universal Rack 10642 G2 Shock Rack *AG052A HP Integrated TFT7600 Display *MCIP-116-PAC Raritan KVM Master Console IP116 Bundle *252663-D72 HP 24A High Voltage US/JP Module Power Distribution Unit *J9028A#ABA HP Pro Curve Switch 1800-24G 24-port Gigabit Switch *375861-B21 HP 72GB 3G Plug SAS 10K SFF Hard Drive To ensure compatibility with existing hardware and software in the field, the SMART servers must be HP DL380 G5 and HP 580 G4 servers and related equipment, and provided by a Hewlett Packard reseller. The Hewlett Packard DL380 G5 and Hewlett Packard DL580 G4 SMART servers, along with these other components have been identified as key component of the Department?s SMART server infrastructure. IRM ITCCB approved the use of these Hewlett Packard Servers for unclassified and classified networks. These servers were tested by the Department for hardware and software compatibility. These specific servers provide integrated management functions with existing equipment maximizing our return on training investment for support personnel. In addition, the various anticipated Operations and Maintenance owners of SMART deployed technologies utilize similar equipment at this time. As the SMART program exists for a finite duration, the program seeks to minimize the burden placed on existing O&M organizations by using similar technologies as those already deployed. Furthermore, these setups are matched to specific configuration needs in the DoS that recur on a regular basis making them virtually interchangeable and simplifying our spare part logistic needs. Finally, standardization preserves our ability to more easily expand with newer server models from the same manufacturer and achieve economies of scale, particularly in test and development environments, with lower overall cost. The Hewlett Packard DL380 G5 Servers, Hewlett Packard DL580 G4 Servers, and related infrastructure equipment described in paragraph (2) have been identified as key components of the Department?s SMART server infrastructure which will provide Command and Control message handling, collaboration, Archive and Records Management functions for the Department of State. The Hewlett Packard DL380 G5 and Hewlett Packard DL580 G4 servers have undergone testing, assessment, and evaluation for compatibility with existing hardware and software and are approved for use by the IRM ITCCB for unclassified and classified network. Per FAR 8.405-6 (e) (1), this acquisition is conducted under the authority of the Multiple Award Schedule Program.As this is a brand name only justification, no one contractor?s unique qualifications are cited as the basis for this justification. Rather, the products identified by brand name herein have been determined to be the only items that meet the Department?s requirements as a key component of the Department?s networking system.After extensive testing, the HP servers were the only servers found to be compatible with the Departments existing hardware and software. HP CTO FACTORY BUILT CONFIGURATIONS ARE ACCEPTABLE ALL SERVER CONFIGURATIONS MUST BE FULLY INTEGRATED PRIOR TO SHIPMENT REPOSTED TO INCLUDE TERMS: 1) CTO ACCEPBABLE 2) ALL SERVER COMPONENTS MUST BE INTEGRATED COMPLETELY PRIOR TO SHIPMENT AND DELIVERY.
