About this file

This document is a Sole Source Justification form for the Federal Highway Administration's procurement of a storage device maintenance contract.

The justification specifies that TVAR is the only Dell-authorized third-party service provider for this specific device, and using any unauthorized vendor would void the device's warranty and prevent critical security upgrades, potentially causing a complete work stoppage.

SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION

For purchases made under FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures

(Under $250,000)

Name and Location of the organization making the purchase:

Federal Highway Administration 22001 Loudoun Ave BLDG E-2 Suite 200 Ashburn, VA 20147

Describe supplies and/or services being procured:

Procurement of a storage device maintenance contract that will allow the company TVAR to represent Dell in repairing and upgrading certain Dell Unity Storage device parts and software. This is needed to support the 200TB of EFL shared drives that the 237 EFL engineers and staff use daily to do their jobs.

Name and Contact Information of Required Source:

TVAR Solutions 1320 Old Chain Bridge Rd Suite 240 McLean, VA 22101 Point of contact: sodianel@tvarsolutions.com 301-520-8445

Rationale supporting the sole source acquisition (Authority under FAR 13.106-1(b)):

OST Storage Team informed EFL IT Dept. that TVAR is the only Dell-authorized third party that services EFL’s Dell Unity 480XT. If any other vendor not authorized by Dell works on our device, it will void the device's overall warranty, and we will not be able to perform security upgrades to the machine or request repair drives. This will cause a complete work stoppage for the 237 engineers and staff in EFL.
