Statutory Authority Permitting Other than Full and Open Competition: FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)

Hewlett Packard has proprietary hardware and firmware which makes it compatible with existing PHD network infrastructure. Hewlett Packard does have reseller vendors which can be utilized to provide licenses and services required. By utilizing HP OEM technical hardware and software (firmware) support; and HP upgrade services, NSWC PHD will be assured of end-to-end consistency and quality of services.

Specific Characteristics of the Item or Service Required that Limit the Availability to a Sole Source or Brand Name: **This is the most important section. Explain in detail why this company or brand are the only ones that can meet the requirement.

Hewlett Packard is essential to the government's requirements for storage devices.

Market Research has found that other companies with similar products lack features that meet our requirements and cannot be modified to meet our needs.

Market Research Conducted:

Checked different vendor capabilities and hardware that may provide a solution to the requirements. The hardware chosen were the only available approved models specifically compatible with PHD's current network infrastructure.

Statement of Actions, if any to Remove Barriers to Competition in the Future:

This requirement can be competed amongst small and large businesses that are authorized resellers of Hewlett Packard.
