All responsible sources may submit a response to Aundra Rhone-Jones via email to Aundra.m.Rhonejones@nga.mil. Rationale for Other Than Full and Open Competition: The Customer Engagement Office (EGM) needs external hard drives that meet the specifications listed above. EGM requires multiple ports, ruggedized, durable case, and a positive on/off switch. Because these external storage devices are provided to a variety of customers external to NGA using disparate systems unknown to NGA, we require the units to have the most types of interfaces available, including all cables, to satisfy any customer connectivity. The external storage devices are shipped to remote and non-administrative type environments and are frequently subject to abusive conditions. Therefore, durable cases are required. Lastly, an on/off switch makes connectivity and usage easier at the customer locations. Market research indicates that only Other World Computing (OWC) brand, model Mercury On-the-Go, meets the specification for a quad interface, ruggedized, durable case and positive on/off switch.
