Brand Name Justification for Exception to Fair Opportunity

Ordering PER FAR Part 16

Requirement: Cisco/Dell/EMC replacement servers.

Date: 05-MAY-2020

The following justification is provided in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 16.505(b)(2)(ii)(B). The requested action is for the procurement of Brand Name Only (limits fair opportunity to awardees that supply the described supply/services listed herein) CISCO/DELL-EMC Replacement Server Storage and Installation/Configuration from the Army CHESS ITES-3H Contract vehicles.

The requirement is for the procurement of Replacement Server Storage and Installation/Configuration for the Data Management (DMD) Division, located at Dugway Proving Ground’s (DPG) West Desert Test Center (WDTC). The Cisco and Dell/EMC equipment that is contained in this package is required because it aligns with current existing infrastructure in the test center. The purchase of other branded equipment would require duplication of effort in oversight and maintenance; increased man-hours to maintain and troubleshoot, and potential system conflicts relating to software management and firmware upgrades, and worst case scenario, bringing the entire system offline due to incompatibility.
