This Justification and Approval (J&A) on a brand name basis is for the use of the Hewlett Packard dc7600 Small Form Factor Computer (see attached specifications) and Hyundai 19-inch (part number B90A-K). The use of a brand name description is essential to the Government?s requirements, for network security and compatibility, thereby precluding consideration of the products of another company.The GITM Program recommends a brand name procurement of the Hewlett Packard dc7600 Small Form Factor Computer (see attached specifications) and Hyundai 19? Monitor ? part number B90A-K. The Hewlett Packard dc7600 Small Form Factor computer (see attached specifications) and Hyundai 19-inch (part number B90A-K) have been identified as key components of the Department?s networking system. The desire to maintain continuity of computing manufacturers supports GITM?s ability to maintain a standard image for use in deploying desktops worldwide. The Hewlett Packard dc7600 is the same computer already purchased and deployed to GITM customers for the Unclass Network. Use of another brand will create the need for supporting multiple computing hardware needs as well as drive the creation and maintenance of additional computing images. This action will result in additional cost and significant time delays to the GITM program. To ensure compatibility with existing network components in the field, the equipment must be a Hewlett Packard dc7600 Small Form Factor Computer, (see attached specifications) and Hyundai 19-inch (part number B90A-K) units and provided by an authorized reseller of Hewlett Packard and Hyundai products. IRM/OPS/PMA has identified the Hewlett Packard dc7600 Small Form Factor Computer, (see attached specifications) and Hyundai 19-inch (part number B90A-K) as a key component of the Department?s networking system. Use of another brand will create the need for supporting multiple computing hardware needs as well as drive the creation and maintenance of additional computing images. This action will result in additional cost and significant time delays to the GITM program. 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. Hewlett Packard dc7600 Small Form Factor Computer, (see attached specifications) and Hyundai 19-inch (part number B90A-K). Use of another brand will create the need for supporting multiple computing hardware needs as well as drive the creation and maintenance of additional computing images. This action will result in additional cost and significant time delays to the GITM program
