66 -- Quantum Scalar i2000

This contract involves supporting the Office of Naval Research (ONR) with the relocation of two Quantum Scalar i2000 Libraries, which contain 1,000 tape backup systems, from Bolling Air Force Base to the ONR Data Center in Arlington, Virginia. The contractor's responsibilities include shutting down, securing, and packing the Quantum Scalar i2000 systems to prevent damage during transport. While the government handles the physical transportation of the equipment, the contractor is required to unpack, install the Quantum Scalar i2000 Library and its associated Quantum Library Product, perform system integration services, and restart the equipment once the move is complete. The solicitation process involved obtaining quotes from three offerors, with the contract to be awarded to the most advantageous proposal. Although this notice did not solicit competitive proposals, any proposals received within five days of the synopsis publication were considered. The contract is associated with NAICS code 541519, which corresponds to specialized IT services, reflecting the technical nature of the required system integration and installation work. Contract specialists at ONR, including Nicholas C Anderson and Vera G Carroll, serve as points of contact for this project.
