The Contractor and its employees shall exercise the utmost discretion in regard to all matters relating to their duties and functions. They shall not communicate to any person any information known to them by reason of their performance of services under this contract which has not been made public, except in the necessary performance of their duties or upon written authorization of the Contracting Officer. All documents and records (including photographs) generated during the performance of work under this contract shall be for the sole use and become the exclusive property of the U.S Government. Furthermore, no article, book, pamphlet, email, recording, broadcast, speech television appearance, film or photograph concerning any aspect of work performed under this contract shall be published or disseminated through any media without the prior written authorization of the Contracting Officer. These obligations do no cease upon the expiration or termination of this contract. The Contractor shall include the substance of this provision in all contracts of employment and in all subcontracts hereunder. Systems Development and Maintenance (SDM) operates and maintains a Development Network (DevNet) that includes HP Proliant Rack Servers that duplicate the Operational environment of Global Financial Services Charleston. The HP rack servers require replacement disk drives to remain operational and expansion drives to maximize use of current servers. The hard drives for HP are proprietary, specially cased to fit in the server rack housing, and must be stringently tested to verify maximum quality/durability. Ordering of any HP drive components must be made through an HP approved reseller to retain warranty, maintenance, and support. The DevNet environment must be available 24/7 to provide support to the GFS/Charleston operations. To retain warranty, maintenance and support to the HP rack servers currently in use, approved products are required.Based on the proprietary nature of the equipment, RM recommends this one time acquisition (Brand Name Justification) of HP replacement/expansion hard drives.
