About this file
This document is a Brand Name Justification for the procurement of Dell EMC Storage Access Network (SAN) disk drives under simplified acquisition procedures. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) plans to award a contract to an authorized Dell EMC reseller for these SAN disk drives. The Dell EMC SAN devices and disk drives are the current FHWA-approved storage solution used across the Eastern Federal Lands division to securely store project documents shared with DOT partners. The justification states that using another disk drive brand would be catastrophic and have a negative impact on operations, as the Dell EMC SAN only supports its own disk drives. Authorized Dell EMC resellers may submit a quotation within 15 days of the posted solicitation for this requirement, which is designated for small businesses.
