FAR 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions - Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition.

The full text of a FAR clause may be accessed electronically at http://www.acqnet.gov/far. CCR Requirement - Company must be registered on Central Contractor Registration (CCR) before an award could be made to them. If company is not registered in CCR, they may do so by going to CCR web site at http://www.ccr.gov. This Justification and Approval (J&A) on a brand name only basis is for the use of the EMC DMX3000. 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 requires the EMC DMX3000 Networked Storage System. CA currently runs the EMC DMX3000 at its primary site in Beltsville. This purchase will allow CA to form the redundant site at the Harry S Truman Building (Main State). Data will be replicated between Beltsville and Main State; therefore, hardware and software compatibility will be a major part of the requirement. The purchase of the EMC DMX3000 will ensure compatibility and will best meet CA?s needs. Also, the continued use of the EMC DMX3000, rather than to introduce another manufacturer?s product, is cost effective. The use of one make and model eliminates the need to purchase, maintain and account for inventories of spare parts and software for multiple networked storage systems. In summation, CA/CST believes that it is in the best interests of the Government to acquire the requested EMC DMX3000 without delay. 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. CA/CST has selected the EMC DMX3000 because results obtain by the Bureau?s Data Engineering Task Team in evaluations and reviews of other manufacturers? tape libraries indicated that this networked storage system most closely met the DoS?s processing, redundancy, and management requirements. NO SUBSTITUTIONS. NEW ITEMS ONLY. A)Sellers must bid exact match to spec (make, model and spec) B)The products offered in this bid are brand new, not gray market and are in original packaging. C) Seller is providing these products via DELL authorized channels for new equipment Federal sales. D) Full DELL warranties will be provided and none of these products will have a negative impact on the warranties of associated system components.
