This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; bids are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number is DTCGG3-99-P-TWV247. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 97-07. The standard identification code (SIC)for Item #1 is 3571 and the small business size standard is 1000 employees. The SIC for item #2 is 3577 and the small business size standard is 1000 employees. The Operations Systems Center presently has two (2) S2000/750 and one (1) S2000/250 SEQUENT machine that are used to support multiple applications and users as hosts for Coast Guard mission critical and mission essential systems. The users are located at Coast Guard Headquarters and various locations throughout the United States. It has been determined that the Coast Guard must have increased application availability and improved level of performance. A binary compatible SEQUENT Model S2000/750 machine (hardware and software) must be acquired to support recovery efforts if a critical hardware failure occurs on either production machine. The additional SEQUENT machine will have hardware configuration that is identical to the PDS and SDAII production machines. This will accommodate restores of software and data from available tape backups or swappable disk arrays to provide quick recovery of user access. Additional memory is necessary for the two S2000/750 machines to maintain performance as more users are added to the current systems. Accordingly, SEQUENT equipment and memory is the only viable solution and the Operations Systems Center is procuring two items as follows: Item (1) -- SEQUENT S2000/750 machine single cabinet system with the following components: 1 -- 1.3GB firmware disk, 2 -- 12slot 3.5"PBAYS, 12 -- 9GB disk drives, 1 -- QCIC-W board, 1 -- Ethernet controller, 1 -- FDDI controller, 7 -- Dual 60MHz pentium controllers, 2GB memory, Shipping and installation, Mimimum 90-day warranty required. Item (2) -- Memory upgrade for two S2000/750 machines with 12 -- 64MB ECC memory expansion boards, 12 -- 192MB memory controllers, installation and adjusting kernel parameters.
