Attachment 10b.7 – E031 R112 Shelter – Server Stack – 01-FEMCA.xlsx

This document contains a preliminary analysis of potential failure modes for server hardware components used in a shelter system. The analysis identifies 42 possible failure modes across various components including servers, power distribution, mass storage, and network ports. For each failure mode, the document provides the failure description, potential cause, local effects, impacts to higher levels, estimated probability of occurrence, severity classification, and whether redundancy could lower the severity. The analysis will inform design of the shelter server stack to improve reliability and prevent mission failures due to critical component issues.

This federal contract opportunity posting is for a draft request for proposal for low-rate initial production and full-rate production of an Integrated Battle Command System hardware end item. The effort requires maintaining approved software and firmware updates, ensuring cybersecurity and authority to operate on existing hardware, and executing any engineering changes during the performance period. While hardware production is the primary requirement, the contract will also involve associated software maintenance and engineering support services. The solicitation number is W31P4Q-20-R-0015 and was issued by the Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command at Redstone Arsenal. No proposals should be submitted in response to the draft RFP as posted, which is for comment purposes only.
