AI Contract Overview

The U.S. Department of Justice, National Security Division, is seeking to procure 20 HP ProLiant DL 380 G7 Servers through a competitive process under the NASA SEWP IV Contract. This procurement is limited to the HP ProLiant brand for reasons related to performance, cost efficiency, and time constraints, as the existing network management and monitoring infrastructure is specifically tailored to this brand. Using other brands would result in significant additional costs and delays. Furthermore, the NSD personnel are trained specifically on HP servers, and maintaining common hardware minimizes system downtime and repair expenses. The acquisition also includes other related items that align with this critical need. The requirement is exempt from Section 508 compliance under FAR 39.204, as it pertains to a national security system and equipment located in secure areas only accessible by maintenance personnel. Vendors must, however, specify compliance with Section 104 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 or the Federal Energy Management Program. The solicitation, number DOJ-NSD-10-0590, anticipates awarding a firm fixed-price contract to the lowest-priced technically acceptable offeror. Proposals were due by 4:00 p.m. on September 29, 2010, and late submissions were not considered. The applicable NAICS code is 423430 with a business size standard of 100 employees. The primary contact for this solicitation is Sheila Gear Israel.

Full Description

The U. S. Department of Justice, National Security Division (NSD) anticipates a competitive procurement for 20 HP ProLiant DL 380 G7 Servers off of the NASA SEWP IV Contract. This brand name RFQ is for reasons of performance, cost, and time. The network management and monitoring systems in place are specifically designed for this brand and series of server, and adapting it to support other brands would require a large investment of time and labor at significant cost to the government that would exceed any savings that could be achieved through broader competition. Furthermore, the NSD server operators are specifically trained in the operation and maintenance of the HP brand servers. Also, the commonality of parts reduces system downtime and cost of repairs. Therefore, the acquisition of the HP ProLiant High-performance rack-mount servers and other corresponding items is essential to this requirement. This requirement has a Section 508 E&IT Exception in accordance with FAR 39.204, and the requirements in FAR 39.203 do not apply because this E&IT requirement is for (b) a national security system; and (d) is located in spaces frequented only by service personnel for maintenance, repair or occasional monitoring of equipment. Such exception is documented and filed in the contract folder. Therefore, requested items are not required to be compliant with Section 508 for this requirement. However, vendor must indicate whether each product or service is complaint with Section 104 of the Energy Policy Act (EPACT) of 2005 or Federal Energy Management Program. The solicitation number for this acquisition will be DOJ-NSD-10-0590. The Government contemplates award of a firm fixed price contract resulting from this solicitation. Only one award will be made to offeror with the lowest price and all items are technically acceptable. Responses to this notice must be in writing and must be received by 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, September 29, 2010. The Government will not consider proposals received after the RFQ close date. The North American Industrial Classification (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 423430, and the size standard is 100.
