Dell Items for Life Safety Backbone Replacement

Issued by the Washington Headquarters Services under the Department of Defense, solicitation RFQ735232 is an award notice for the procurement of Dell brand name hardware to support the Life Safety Backbone Replacement for the Pentagon Force Protection Agency. The acquisition specifically includes Precision T3500 workstations, M4600 laptops, and E2210 monitors.

The contract was set aside for small businesses on GSA Schedule 70, with the selection process based on the lowest priced technically acceptable offer. Technical specifications and submission guidelines were managed through GSA e-Buy, with final certifications and procurement activities occurring in September 2012. The effort was categorized under NAICS code 334113 and managed by the Washington Headquarters Services office in Washington, DC.
