About this file
This document is a Brand Name Justification for a federal contract opportunity to purchase a Dell PowerEdge R750xs Server and Data Domain DD6400 Backup Appliance. The 76th Propulsion Maintenance Group requires these items to replace an out-of-warranty backup server and data domain system, which poses a high risk to their data protection and disaster recovery strategies. Dell servers are preferred due to their customer support, quality, and integration with the existing PC4 infrastructure, including the Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller feature. An analysis of mandatory use buying programs and small business sources was conducted, but no other viable alternatives were identified. The contracting officer has determined that the use of the specific Dell brand name is required to meet the program office's needs. The related federal contract opportunity is Solicitation Number FA813224QDPE1 for the Backup Server requirement.

TO: AFSC/PZIM
FROM: OC-ALC/OBCA for 76 PMXG
SUBJECT: Brand Name Justification for P24-015 Dell 750xs Server and Data Domain Backup
1. 76 PMXG is requesting the purchase of a Data Domain DD6400 Backup Appliance and Dell PowerEdge R750xs Server.
2. Dell Servers play a vital role in data protection and disaster recovery strategies, ensuring the preservation and restoration of crucial data in cases of data loss, hardware failures, human error, or other unforeseen incidents in end of line. The 64TB Data Domain is designed to provide efficient data protection and backup solutions for enterprises and organizations. The current PC4 backup server and Data Domain are out of warranty and require an upgrade posing a potential high risk to data protection and disaster recovery strategies. The Dell Servers are used throughout the PC4 infrastructure for their great customer support, great quality, and are generally better integrated. One of the primary benefits is the Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) feature which is a solution for secure local and remote server management of PowerEdge servers. PMXG has already invested upwards of one million dollars into Dell Equipment. Dell 750 Servers have also been previously purchased via Contract number FA8139- 24-F-0027.
3. Therefore, it is requested that Dell PowerEdge R750xs Rack Servers Brand Name equipment is procured to meet all the requirements of the program office and subsequently the warfighters.
4. In accordance with DAFMAN 17-1203, mandatory use buying programs were researched in order of precedence. This effort was performed to identify companies that could provide a Dell Power Edge R750xs Server with a NAICS Code NAICS 334111. A review of small businesses to include 8(a), HUBZone, Service- Disabled Veteran Owned Business, and Women Owned Small Business was conducted in search of a company that could provide a Dell PowerEdge R750 Rack Server. DOD ESI yielded zero (0) results, RFI #679882 went out to (76) vendors and resulted in two (2) ROMs. In review, there are several sources that can provide this commodity acquisition.
5. Point of contact for this memorandum is Sherry Tuley at (405)522-5422, or email at sherry.harvey-tuley@us.af.mil.
6. I have determined, in accordance with FAR 13, that the circumstances of this contract action deem a specific brand name to be required.
