FOB DESTINATION CONUS This Justification and Approval (J&A) on a brand name only basis is for the purchase of renewals of Dell extended service plans. The use of a brand name description is essential to the Government’s requirements, for Department of State infrastructure connectivity requirements, thereby precluding consideration of the products of another company.CA/CST/TI owns and has in use multiple Dell PowerEdges, power connectors, and EMC’s. The current warranties on these existing Dell items are all set to expire between now and the end of October 2006. Service plan will need to be renewed through Dell before October 2006, to ensure proper maintenance and service will continue uninterrupted.The 41 USC 253(c)(1), and FAR 6.302-1 are cited at the statutory authority.As this is a brand name only justification, no one contractor’s unique qualifications are cited as the basis for this justification. Rather, the products identified by brand name herein have been determined to be the only items that meet the Department’s requirements as a key component of the Department’s networking system.
