BRAND NAME JUSTIFICATION: The A (A/LM/AQM), Department of State (DoS), is processing this acquisition at the request of the SYSTEMS DIVISION (IRM/EX/SYS), This Justification and Approval (J&A) on a brand name only basis is for the use of HP/Compaq servers. The use of a brand name description is essential to the Government?s requirements, for Department of State infrastructure support requirements, thereby precluding consideration of the products of another company.SYSTEMS DIVISION (IRM/EX/SYS), has identified the HP/Compaq DC7600 as key components of its hardware support infrastructure. Equipment listed above is already in wide use to support the OpenNet Everywhere and Blackberry Enterprise Server programs? applications and associated data. Hardware components are hot-swappable, which allows for across-the-board standardization and standardization of server configuration. This in turn results in fiscal savings as parts, rather than whole desktops, can be replaced as necessary/on demand. 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 MSP?s requirements as a key component of the Department?s OpenNet Everywhere and Blackberry Enterprise application(s) and associated data hardware support infrastructure. The HP/Compaq DC7600 items have undergone test and assessment evaluation for hardware infrastructure installation and received final approval from the Department of State IT Configuration Control Board
