This is an interoffice memorandum from the Information Systems department of an unspecified California government entity regarding Scope of Work (SOW) verification for Requisition 035584, which concerns the procurement of Dell server equipment. The memo, dated July 23, 2025, indicates that no selection was made on the SOW Verification form for the Dell server purchase, and notes that the procurement does not align with the two standard options available on the form. The related contract opportunity specifies that the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) is seeking bids from authorized resellers for Dell PowerEdge R660 and PowerEdge R660xs Tailor Made Servers with a six-month contract term.

The memo clarifies that this purchase represents annual support for an existing product already in use and requires this specific Dell brand. The budget allocation for the OCTA contract is $193,697 for the six-month term. The nature of this procurement—support and maintenance for incumbent equipment rather than a new purchase or implementation—explains the SOW classification issue noted by Senior Section Manager Long Leu, as the requirement does not fit standard new procurement categories.
