About this file
This Performance Work Statement (PWS) details a technical refresh project for the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) Internet Protocol Router (NIPR) data servers at F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming. The project requires a contractor to purchase, install, configure, and test two Dell PowerStore 500T Unified Storage Solution servers in Buildings 333 and 65, with server replication capabilities and interoperability with existing Dell PowerProtect DM5500 and Data Domain 5500 systems running Network File System (NFS) and Common Internet File System (CIFS) for data backups.
Key technical requirements include installing hardware and software, conducting comprehensive pre-testing, in-progress testing, and post-testing to demonstrate full operational capability, with specific focus on data replication between servers and successful backup/restore functionality. The project has a 60-calendar day performance period after contract award, with work to be performed Monday through Friday from 0700-1600 hours. Contractor personnel must have Dell service technician qualifications, comply with multiple telecommunications and safety standards, and adhere to strict operational security, anti-terrorism, and controlled unclassified information (CUI) handling protocols. The solicitation is currently in a sources sought phase to determine small business availability, with no immediate award planned.
