About this file
This is a Sole Source (Including Brand Name) Justification document for a one-year hardware/software maintenance contract for HP equipment at the F-22 Combined Test Force at Edwards AFB, CA. The contract (F1S0AQ4340A001) is being processed by the Air Force Test Center (AFTC) Directorate of Contracting, with funding level >SAT and ≤$750K.
The requirement covers HPE Tech Care Essential wCDMR SVC maintenance for existing HP equipment used on classified and unclassified networks to process F-22 flight test data. Market research included an RFI posted on GSA 2GIT from December 13-18, 2024, which received responses from HPE and World Wide Technologies. Although multiple vendors were identified, a subsequent RFQ on GSA 2GIT received no quotes. The requirement will now be posted to SAM.gov as a small business set-aside. The justification cites that HP and HP authorized resellers are the only vendors who can fulfill this requirement due to HP proprietary information. The contracting officer will determine award based on fair and reasonable pricing in accordance with FAR pricing procedures.
