RM/DCFO/GFMS requires an expansion to its existing development environment in SA15 in Roslyn, VA to accommodate the increased amount of development required to support the implementation of GFMS. The GFMS project requires the following: - 1 high speed laser jet printers (4 tray 500 sheet feeder) - 8 mid level ink jet printers - 15 21inch LCD monitors All of this equipment would be housed in SA15 and integrated with the existing SA15 network. SA15 must support Washington based development activities in a consolidated network. As a result, each layer of the network?s technical architecture has been designed with high availability and redundancy in mind. Identical HP printers and View Sonic monitors are fully configured to be utilized and to backup other similar equipment in the event of hardware failure. Likewise, each layer of the architecture must work seamlessly with itself. This means that a network equipment component layer must be not only compatible, but have the same performance, and operations characteristics so as not to introduce performance anomalies. Industry Data Both State and USAID have an extensive investment in HP printer technology. HP printers are used by State and USAID for the current production operations throughout SA15 and the Charleston Financial Center. The Impact of Not Requiring Brand Name The RM bureau also has an extensive installed base of HP printers and bulk orders toner cartridges for these as well as providing common maintenance technicians. To introduce additional supply inventories would defeat the savings achieved through these bulk orders. Recommendation HP printers and View Sonic monitors are available on a number of GSA schedules. Based on the current production installed base of HP printers and workstations and the critical need for the GFMS to stay consistent with their network configurations, RM recommends the acquisition (Brand Name Justification) of HP printers and View Sonic monitors for SA15 in Roslyn.
