- Description
- This is a public announcement for a proposed contract action. This is not an RFQ. The National Weather Service (NWS) Central Region Headquarters (CRH) has a requirement to purchase a NetApp FAS2050c Network Attached Storage (NAS) Server with the following options: 1x NetApp Documents 2050 -C 2x NetApp FAS2050A 1x NetApp Lift Handle Kit4N2 DDS14 Middle 2x NetApp -c R6 North America Power Cab 2x NetApp NFS Software T2C-C 2x NetApp iSCSI Software T2C-C 2x NetApp CIFS Software T2C-C 2x NetApp Snaprestore Software Special T2C-C 2x NetApp A-SIS Data Deduplication Software 2x NetApp Nearstore Software 1x NetApp Secure Government 7x24 4HR OS 1x NetApp FAS2050 Select 20X300GB SAS C Upon testing of three vendors which have the Network Attached Storage capabilities that were within the price range and specification of the project, the NetApp server was chosen due to its seamless integration into the current CRH network infrastructure, its support model, and its feature set. CRH brought in to the office vendors from three different NAS companies and after looking at all the features the NetApp will allow for the current requirements and future expansion that is projected. The NetApp has existing technology that allows for the maximization of disk space through several technical means that allows CRH to purchase less initial disk space. This results in significant monetary savings. CRH personnel have advanced experience and vendor training on earlier models of NetApp NAS appliances which will help the transition to the new technology that NetApp offers. Additionally NetApp offers US Government support which ensures that when we require support we will be gaining support from persons within the United States which greatly enhances security of US Government information. If there is any other vendor that can supply a similar product that can meet the Government's needs please contact Kevin Buum at kevin.j.buum@noaa.gov To be considered interested parties must be able to demonstrate their ability to provide the NAS server with the features listed above. Firms must furnish detailed specifications and descriptions to demonstrate their capability to provide the NAS server and satisfy the Government's needs. Capability information shall include, at a minimum, name, telephone number and address of concerns for which you have previously furnished this supply, and a detailed narrative that describes your ability to provide this supply as specified and descriptive literature. This is not a request for proposals and there is no solicitation available at this time. The Government reserves the right to solicit bids based on the receipt of affirmative responses to this notice or issue an order to purchase the NetApp FAS2050c whichever is determined to be more advantageous to the Government without further notice. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
