- Description
- Amendment 0006: The purpose of this amendment is to extend the closing date of the RFQ from 03 July 2019 to 05 July 2019 at 1400 EST. All other combined synopsis/solicitation terms and conditions remain unchanged. Amendment 0005: The purpose of this amendment is to answer the following question: Q: This is for the Qty 8 Storage Nodes: Two (2) Current Generation x86-64 compatible server class CPU(s) with 18+ cores @ 2.8GHz utilizing the Socket P (LGA 3647) interface and support Hyper-threading (HT) technology. Does the Government require 2x CPU's that added together total (18+ cores)? Or does the Government want 2x CPU's and each processor has at least 18 core or more (totalling 2x CPU's being 36+ cores)? A: Each CPU would require no less than 18 cores, with two physical processors installed totaling a minimum of 36 available cores (18 cores per CPU x2 physical CPU's). All other combined synopsis/solicitation terms and conditions remain unchanged. Amendment 0004: The purpose of this amendment is to update the specification for the Switches, cabling/accessories minimum requirement. Attachment #1 has been updated to reflect the minimum requirement change for the Switches, cabling/accessories specification. The closing date of this combined synopsis/solicitation is hereby extended from 27 June 2019 to 03 July 2019 at 1400 EST. All other combined synopsis/solicitation terms and conditions remain unchanged. Amendment 0003: The purpose of this amendment is to answer the following questions: Q1: Do all 32 ports need to support 10GbE/25GbE/40GbE/100GbE or can it be a mix and match of the speeds? If this is the Navy do they require TAA? A1: The switch ports do not have to operate at those specific speeds simultaneously, in fact most will either be operating at 10GbE or 40GbE transfer rates respectively. Traditionally speaking, what determines the operating mode is the transceiver/media converter, EUD's (End User Device) network card, and physical interface (cabling) between the two. To be specific, the Government requires a switch that has the capability of operating at 40GbE on all ports and the slower 10GbE speed when using the appropriate media converters (most 40/50/100GbE ports can operate at slower speeds depending on the transceiver). These would require TAA before committing to a purchase; however, all the Government requires is support documentation that outlines the devices technical specifications. Q2: Is the Government going to be using any protocol other than Ethernet for this setup? All the servers and workstations mention the requirement of "Converged Network Adapter". Please provide further clarification to what do these adapters will require to support: a. Infiniband and Ethernet OR b. FCoE and Ethernet OR c. Just Ethernet A2: Ethernet only. Q3: We are going to be upgrading network adapter ports and switch ports from QSFP+ to QSFP28 to make them future ready. QSFP28 ports are backward compatible and can work with QSFP+ transceivers to support legacy network. Please confirm this is acceptable. A3: Yes, this is technically acceptable so long as the vendor provides supporting documentation, which demonstrates their claim of compatibility. Q4: Storage nodes require Quad Port 40 Gigabit QSFP+ Adapter. Can the Government accept 2x Dual Port Adapters? A4: Yes, the Government will accept dual port network adapters, so long as they are compatible with associated cabling/transceivers paired with to switch. Q5 : Any RAID required for QTYx 3 1U servers for 4x 10TB DATA drives? A5: No, NUWC technicians will configure the storage layout without any assistance from the vendor. All other combined synopsis/solicitation terms and conditions remain unchanged. Amendment 0002: The purpose of this amendment is to answer the following question: Q1: Any specific manufacture needed for the specifications mentioned like Dell / HP / IBM ? Please advise. NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO FEDBIZOPPS ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (03-JUL-2019); HOWEVER, IT DID APPEAR IN THE FEDBIZOPPS FTP FEED ON THIS DATE. PLEASE CONTACT 877-472-3779 or fbo.support@gsa.gov REGARDING THIS ISSUE.
