- Description
- Contracting Office Address Department of the Air Force, Air Force Materiel Command, ASC - Aeronautical Systems Center, 2275 D Street, Wright-Patterson AFB, OH, 45433-7228 Description 750 - 300 GB QUAD CARTRIDGE, P/N DSTQ300MCLB - CLEAR CASES These storage tape cartridges are one of a kind and are used in very high high-speed, very high throughput tape subsystems in supporting a mission critical data management system for the Imagery Exploitation (DEI) Division of the National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC). The tape cartridges are unique in design and recording surface density and are used exclusively in an AMPEX DST-314a tape drive system. The quality of the material used and the precision standards to which these tape cartridges are manufactured ensures product durability and operational reliability during use and prolonged periods of archived storage. Consumed at a rate of three tape cartridges per day, NASIC?s DEI division must maintain a sufficient inventory of cartridges to meet daily backup requirements of sensitive imagery analysis data. If the level of available tape cartridges falls below an estimated minimum, then mission failure may occur. Currently, there are no other tape cartridges that meet NASIC?s needs. Primary Place of Performance: Wright-Patterson AFB, OH Authority: 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), Justification: Supplies (or Services) required are available from only one or a limited number of responsible source(s) and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Mr. Craig Cassino has been appointed as Ombudsman to hear concerns from offerors, or potential offerors, during the proposal development. The purpose of the Ombudsman is to communicate contractor concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations to the appropriate government personnel. Existence of the Ombudsman does not diminish the authority of the program director or the contracting officer. Accordingly, the Ombudsman does not participate in the preparation of solicitations, the evaluation of proposals or the source selection process and, therefore, for routine matters on individual solicitations, please contact the buyer at the telephone number listed herein. When requested, the Ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. Should you desire to contact the Ombudsman, Mr. Cassino can be reached at (937) 785-5995, e-mail: craig.cassino@wpafb.af.mil.
