The Office of Acquisition Management (A/LM/AQM), Department of State (DoS), is processing this acquisition at the request of Office of Medical Services, M/MED/MI. This Justification and Approval (J&A) on a brand name only basis is for the use of Hewlett Packard servers. The use of a brand name description is essential to the Government’s requirements, for Department of State medical systems requirements, thereby precluding consideration of the products of another company. M/MED/MI has identified the Hewlett Packard ML570 server as a key component of the Office of the Medical Services networking environment. Equipment listed above is required to provide system failover capabilities to the Department of State’s electronic medical record systems. It is imperative that the acquired servers are identical to the existing production servers for successful failover in the event of a disaster 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 medical systems failover requirements. The Hewlett Packard ML570 server has undergone test and assessment, and it is part of the approved local IT Configuration Control Board server baseline. NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO FEDBIZOPPS ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (29-SEP-2006); HOWEVER, IT DID APPEAR IN THE FEDBIZOPPS FTP FEED ON THIS DATE.
