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. The Office of Acquisition Management (A/LM/AQM), Department of State (DoS), is processing this acquisition at the request of the Bureau of Consular Affairs? Office of Consular Systems and Technology (CA/CST). This Justification and Approval (J&A) on a brand name only basis is for the acquisition of Dell PowerEdge 2850 Servers. The use of a brand name description is essential to the Government?s requirements and the Bureau of Consular Affairs? systems environment and visa generation requirements, thereby precluding consideration of the products of another manufacturer or company. CA/CST has identified the Dell PowerEdge 2850 Servers as the optimal mid-sized platform to meet the inventory needs of Domestic Operations Infrastructure Support Services. The introduction and use of dual core technology is deemed essential to the successful conduct of the Technical Briefing Lab as it is the most cost effective means of enabling the Bureau to increase processing speeds by more than 50%. The processors will provide extra caching capabilities and the additional memory will enhance the Bureau?s ability to maintain operational status in the event of unexpected memory failures. The Dell PowerEdge servers w/dual core Intel Xenon processor and Blade servers were judged to offer the most power and redundancy of any server of its class, and was determined to be best suited to support the Technical Briefing Lab. 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. The recent request to migrate all NT servers to 2003 and other application requirements has consumed Domestic Operations Infrastructure Support Services current server inventory, therefore requiring them to ask for additional server hardware. In order to meet their current operational requirements, and with the delay in the install of drops and power to the Technical Briefing Lab, all the requested equipment is necessary to replace the Technical Briefing Lab?s current servers. The Dell server equipment was selected for this purpose because results obtained by the Bureau?s Systems Engineering Task Team in tests and reviews of other manufacturer?s servers indicated that it most closely met the Department of State?s throughput, processing and redundancy requirements. It has been approved by the Bureau of Consular Affairs? Configuration Control Board and is being added to the Consular HW Baseline.
