- THIS IS A COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION FOR COMMERCIAL ITEMS PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FORMAT IN FAR SUBPART 12.6-STREAMLINED PROCEDURES FOR EVALUATION AND SOLICITATION FOR COMMERCIAL ITEMS-AS SUPPLEMENTED WITH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION INCLUDED IN THIS NOTICE. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY SOLICITATION; QUOTATIONS ARE BEING REQUESTED, AND A WRITTEN SOLICITATION DOCUMENT WILL NOT BE ISSUED. This is a solicitation of Purchase Request 10-0896-8214/275818 and is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-26.The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 423430 with a small business size standard of 100 employees. This acquisition is not set aside for small businesses. FOB shall be Destination. BRAND NAME JUSTIFICATION: HP is the only server solution that has been certified for use in the OASAM environment. The Government would incur substantial unplanned expense by conducting another review and certification process to locate and procure other hardware that meets the data center’s requirements, and is fully functional and operational in the ITC-OASAM data center. The government would incur substantial cost and risk by using hardware that has not been tested and certified for use within the ITC-OASAM data center. Substantial research and testing would have to be done to find another product that offers the same capability as HP in a server environment and to ensure that product’s compatibility with existing hardware and software components. In order for the government to be able to use another brand of server hardware, the entire ECB/DCN data center server system would have to be overhauled and replaced with another solution other than HP. The estimate was derived based on an analysis of competing server environments. The delay and mission impact resulting in the interrupt in service while the new solution is being implemented is estimated to be significant and would take many months. These costs justify a brand name only acquisition.
