About this file
This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for the Department of State's Acquisition Management Directorate, specifically for Comptroller and Global Financial Services (CGFS). The document seeks to renew maintenance and support from NetApp, Inc. for production network servers and storage infrastructure, with a performance period from 07/01/2025 to 06/30/2026. The requirement is for NetApp Filer storage maintenance critical to supporting financial applications, office productivity tools, electronic messaging services, and business application development.
The justification is based on NetApp being the sole provider capable of meeting the agency's unique and highly specialized requirements due to the proprietary nature of their components. Market research using the NASA SEWP Market Research Tool identified multiple small businesses carrying NetApp products, but the department determined that all hardware and software add-ons must come directly from NetApp or its designated partners. The contract will be competed among NetApp authorized resellers through a limited NASA SEWP V GWAC competition, with the contracting officer determining the pricing to be fair and reasonable based on established contract unit ceiling prices.
