TSA Desktop Procurement

The TSA is planning a comprehensive procurement to replace approximately 76,000 desktop and laptop computers over a five-year period. The new computer units must comply with Energy Star and EPEAT standards, ensuring energy efficiency and environmental sustainability. Initially, there was consideration of small business set-asides, including for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), but this was canceled following SBA regulations. Consequently, the procurement will proceed as a full and open competition, with no restrictions on the acquisition approach at this stage. TSA does not consider this notice as a solicitation or a commitment to contract but anticipates issuing a formal Request for Proposal around December 23, 2010, under the updated solicitation number HSTS03-11-R-CIO314. The contract is managed by the Department of Homeland Security's Contracting and Procurement Office, based in Springfield, VA, with the place of performance in Arlington, VA. Key contacts for this procurement include Bethany K. Petrofsky and Contract Specialist Karla M. Rothenberg, both reachable via provided phone numbers and emails. The procurement falls under the NAICS code 334111, which pertains to electronic computer manufacturing.
