NO COMPATIBLES, NO SUBSTITUTIONS, NO LIKE MFR ITEMS PERMITTED. CA/CST has identified the HP DC7700 SFF Workstation as a key component for overseas Consular windows, interviewing booths and staff offices. The HP DC7700 SFF Workstation was selected for this purpose because of the results obtained by Creative Information Technology, Inc. to replace a like number of older PCs used overseas in Consular interviewing booths and staff offices. The HP DC7700 SFF Workstation is a small form factor workstation that fully meets Consular needs, and was selected for the following reasons: 1) The HP dc7700 SFF workstation features the Intel Core 2 Duo dual-core processor. Dual core processors can deliver a substantial performance increase over single-core processors for multi-threaded applications, multi-tasking environments, or demanding single-threaded applications, allowing the user to work with noticeably quicker results. The tool-less access chassis design of the workstation is efficient, open, quiet, and easy to maintain, service, and upgrade. The dc7700 SFF workstation can be customized to fit CST requirements. 2) The HP dc7700 SFF workstation complies with CA?s baseline standard for desktop PCs and is fully compatible with the Consular HW and SW environments. The following Consular Affairs overseas applications were tested for functionality: Hardware: ? Fujitsu fi-4220C document scanner (USB) ? Gryphon D220 barcode scanner (USB) ? Hewlett-Packard Business Inkjet 1100d printer (USB) ? NEC Multisync LCD (liquid crystal display) 1760V monitor ? PKI (public key infrastructure) (USB) ? Smiths Heimann Biometrics ACCO 1394 single fingerprint scanner (FireWire) ? Cross Match L SCAN Guardian fingerprint scanner ? Identix TouchPrint Enhanced Definition 4100 fingerprint scanner ? Dell UltraSharp 1905FP (flat panel) monitor Software: ? ACRS (Automated Cash Register System), version 07.00.02 ? ACS (American Citizen Services) Plus, version 1.02.01 ? CST (Consular Shared Tables), version 04.01.00 ? CST_PWD (Consular Shared Tables ? Password) version 01.02.00 ? INK (Independent Name Check), version 01.02.02 ? IV (Immigrant Visa), version 04.03.00 ? NIV (Nonimmigrant Visa System), version 04.04.00 COTS Software: ? Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0 ? Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0, Service Pack 2 (SP2) ? Microsoft Office 2003 Professional, Service Release 2 (SR2) ? Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition, version 10.0.2.2021 ? Oracle Client 9i ? WinZip 9.0 In summation, CA/CST believes that the Department?s best interests will be served if the HP dc7700 SFF workstation is procured at this time. 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. The HP DC7700 SFF Workstation has undergone test and assessment, evaluation for overseas deployments and received final approval from the Department of State Consular Affairs Configuration Control Board
