The Office of Acquisition Management (A1LMI AQM), Department of State (DoS), isprocessing this acquisition at the request of the Bureau of Information ResourceManagement, E-Mail Division(IRMlOPSIMSOIEML).This Justification and Approval(J&A) on a brand name only basis is for Storage and Computer Room Equipment. Theuse of a brand name description is essential to the Government's requirements forDepartment of State infrastructure interoperability and connectivity with mission criticalcommunications systems, thereby precluding consideration of the products of anothercompany. IRMlOPSIMSOIEML has identified Network Storage and Computer Room Equipmentproducts as a key component of the Department's core OpenNet and Network ControlCenter (NCC) Remote Access infrastructures. The equipment listed above is required tosupport continuing operations of the Department's Remote Access program. The 41USC 253(c)(I), and FAR 6.302-1 are cited as the statutory authority. As this is a brand name only justification, no one contractor's unique qualifications arecited as the basis for this justification. Rather, the products identified by brand nameherein have been determined to be the only items that meet the Department'srequirements as a key component of the Department's remote Access infrastructure. TheNetApp network storage equipment products are needed to mirror production equipmentin order to properly provide operational support. The Netapp equipment is currently inproduction and providing functionality to remote access systems. It is critical that thesame Netapp equipment be purchased to continue this support and alleviate the need todeviate from this functionality.The requirement will be competed as the IT community responds to price requests onFedBid.9. Any other facts supporting the use of other than full and open competition.The Department's operational Remote Access infrastructure storage is a NetAppenvironment that is being expanded to support IT growth. In order to proceed, capabilitymust be expanded without disturbing current operations. Any deviations from the use ofthe NetApp and APE would pose substantial risk in the form of technical anomaliesthat could disrupt Remote Access availability for all Department of State employees. Thegoal of the IRMIOPS/MSOIEML is to form a cohesive network infrastructure whereresources are available to end-users when needed and in the event of a disaster. NetAppand APC products, maintenance, and support are critical for continuing normal andcontingency Remote Access operations. 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.
