By standardizing on one baseline configuration, the management and support render to the end user is streamlined. DS/CTO/SMD/OPS has identified Dell Desktop equipment as a key component for DS Desktop support. Dell desktop equipment is required to provide compatible hardware configuration with existing DOS enterprise desktop equipment management tools and standardize software configuration that are common to the Brand Name in support of video drivers, NIC drivers and compatible removable drive components. These are essential management tools in support of non-CTO manned Resident and Field office support. The 41 USC 253?(1), and FAR 6.302-1 are cited as 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.
