- Description
- Purpose of the Announcement: In accordance with the Federal Aviation Administration Acquisition Management System (FAA AMS) paragraph 3.2.2.4, to inform industry of the basis of the FAA ™s decision to contract with a selected source via single source procedures. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) intends to award a Single Source Purchase Order to International Business Machine (IBM), Richmond, VA. This procurement is for 2 CO7 rack mount Controllers (6 TS1140s, One T42 Rack, 5 Cleaning Carts) with attached IBM 3592 Tape Drives. This equipment has reached its End of Life Cycle and limited quantities exist in the market place. IBM is the only manufacturer of the CO7 rack mount controller that is compatible with the FAA z/VM operating system. IBM 3592 Tape Drives are replacing IBM 3590 Tape Drives, which both have reached or nearing End of Life Cycle. The IBM 3592 Tape Drives are only compatible with the existing main frame in the Technical Computer Data Center. The criticality of the controller and tape drive replacement are essential to the successfulness of the transferring of NAS data. A full and open competition is not available for this requirement. If your firm does not agree with the single source determination, please provide evidence of your firms ™ capabilities and experience in providing the above services. The FAA will evaluate accordingly. All responses to this announcement must be directed to Kimberly A. Knight at Kimberly.A.Knight@faa.gov no later than 12:00PM Eastern Standard Time, June 16, 2016.
