- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, in conjunction with FAR 13.5, as applicable, and as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will be issued and is attached to this notice. The solicitation number is SAQMMA11R0410 and is issued as a request for proposals (RFP), unless otherwise indicated herein. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-53. The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 334111 with a small business size standard of 1000 employees or less. This requirement is set aside for all Service Disabled Veteran Owned Firms Only. The U.S. Department of State utilizes various types of computers and workstations to meet their needs. This particular requirement comes from the Bureau of Diplomatic Security Office of Computer Investigations and Forensics Laboratory (DS/ICI/CIF) for the examination and analysis of digital data seized or captured during the course of investigations being conducted by or in cooperation with the Diplomatic Security Service. The specialized software used to conduct forensic examinations requires systems which meet exacting specifications in order to perform at maximum efficiency. These programs place high demands on both the system processors and RAM. The utilization of large quantities of certified high speed RAM and dual multi-core processors allow rapid execution of requests to the system. As a result these systems generated much more heat than a standard desktop computer and must be outfitted with multiple fans which cool the processors, chipsets, hard disk drives and RAM. Properly configured cases, with customized wire management, aid in maximizing airflow within the case and assist in keeping internal temperatures at reduced levels. Multiple low noise fans are also necessary for the cooling of the systems and minimization of noise in the lab which has 6 to 10 systems operating at each workstation. The systems must also provide easy tool less access to the internal system components to provide for quick and easy access for the addition or replacement of internal components. Transitioning from one data set (case) to the next requires that data drives in the system be replaced with sanitized drives to ensure that no data from previous cases is mingled with the new case evidence. The use of tray less hot swappable drive bays, accessible from outside the system, facilitates this exchange of drives without tools and without having to enter the system case, unplug power and data cables and remove and replace multiple screws. Cases comprised of large data sets require supplemental external storage devices which must be connected to the forensic workstation via high speed data ports. These high speed data ports should be, when possible, accessible from the front or rear of the system. In accordance with these requirements twenty (20) workstations built to the following technical specifications for the capabilities described herein are required for delivery (Government preference is 30 Days after award), however delivery time schedule will be a evaluation factor therefore all firms are requested to offer a date they can make delivery by, in additional all parts and labor must be warranty for up to 3 years minimum: Full 10 bay tower configured with built-in user touch sensor and maximum air-flow with two (2) top exhaust green (optional) led fans -120x120x25mm, 2000rpm 17dBA led fans, one (1) rear exhaust fan -120mm,1200rpm, 17dBA and one (1) side intake fan -200x230x30mm, 900 rpm, 150 cfm with the following front I/O ports -4 x usb 3.0, 4 x usb 2.0, 1 x eSATA, 1 x 1394a, 1 x Mic, 1 Intel HD / AC 97 audio ports with customized wire management, maximizing air flow and durability.
