The Office of Acquisition Management (A/LM/AQM), Department of State (DoS), is processing this acquisition at the request of the CA/CST. This Justification and Approval (J&A) on a brand name only basis is for the use of the Dell Latitude D820 Laptop. The use of a brand name description is essential to the Government?s requirements, for Department of State infrastructure connectivity requirements, thereby precluding consideration of the products of another company. As part of the ?NIV on a laptop? initiative, CA/CST has identified the Dell Latitude D820 laptop as the laptop that meets the following project requirements above and beyond other tested laptop options. The Dell Latitude D820 laptop was selected for the following reasons: ?Ability to be configured as a training server, loaded with an Oracle database, and with all CA overseas applications. ?Ability to run WinMagic SecureDoc software. ?Exceeds the Consular Affairs minimum hardware requirements for laptop workstations. Because CA will be running both the NIV software and the Oracle database on the same computer, processor speed and storage capacity are ciritical factors in the performance of the system. Dual-core processors allow the Latitude D820 laptop workstation to split tasks between two separate processor cores, splitting the load and get more done in less time. The processors do more work each second, allowing the user to run multiple applications with noticeably quicker results. The NIV technical team has conducted test with the Dell Latitude D820 and has demonstrated that the NIV system will run successfully. An added feature is a wide variety of available security software solutions and uses a tri-factor authentication process. The Smart Card reader requires both a card and a password for the operating system to start up, and the user can add the optional fingerprint reader for the third level of user security. With the additional security of a standard slot for locks, optional notebook tracking software, and compatibility with leading security software, the Latitude D820 laptop workstation is safe from hackers, thieves, and malicious viruses and worms. 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. CA/CST has selected the Dell Latitude D820 laptop because results obtain by the Bureau?s System Engineering Task Team in tests and reviews of other manufacturers? scanners indicated that this scanner most closely met the DoS?s processing, redundancy, and management requirements. The Dell Latitude D820 laptop has been evaluated and approved by the Bureau of Consular Affairs? Configuration Control Board and has been added to the Consular HW Baseline. The workstation has undergone test and assessment and received final approval from the Department of State IT Configuration Control Board.
