* Services required include onsite installation, configuration, and startup of the new UNITY 400 SAN.

4. Authority In accordance with FAR 13.501(a)(1)(ii), this brand name procurement is conducted under the authority of the test program for commercial items at 41 U.S.C. 1901.

5. Supporting Rationale

Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport (NUWCDIVNPT), Code 1041, is required to upgrade the EMC CX4 Storage Area Network (SAN) which is at the end of life and end of service as of 12/31/2016. Spare parts for the current EMC CX4 SAN will not be available in the very near future. The systems require a refresh to a UNITY 400 SAN in order to keep the storage area network up-to-date and technically viable.

Other storage systems including Nutanix and HP/3PAR were considered but rejected due to interoperability issues, high initial acquisition costs, and the high cost of training and dedicating personnel to new and different technology.

Functional Requirement EMC Nutanix HP /3PAR Provides ISCSI and Fiber Channel connectivity X X X Provides disk virtualization through technology to aggregate unlimited number of disks into a unified storage pool X X X

Supports Fiber Channel, SATA, SAS and Solid State Disks X X X Compatible with existing VMWare infrastructure X Compatible with existing maintenance contracts X Compatible with existing Technical Support X Provides fully licensed feature set – fully integrated VMWare View virtualized infrastructure X

Provides ThinApp virtualized software integration X

6. Best Value Determination

The contracting officer will determine the order placed pursuant to this Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition represents the Best Value to the Government. The contracting officer will make a determination of fair and reasonable pricing for this individual order in accordance with the evaluation procedures in FAR 12.602.

7. Market Research

Market research was conducted among GSA schedule holders and open market vendors. The required EMC products and services are available through multiple resellers including Red River, EC America, and EMC2.

8. Other Supporting Facts

If a new EMC SAN is not procured Code 1041 would have to manually burn 90TB worth of data to Blue Ray disks. This would be a monumental task to include over 2500 man hours and 3600 Blue Ray disks. NUWCDIVNPT would have to procure multiple Blue Ray Media jukeboxes to serve out the existing media to NUWC customers which would cost over 1 million dollars to setup and maintain.

9. Actions to Remove Barriers to Competition The compatibility requirements of this Information Technology (IT) procurement do not allow for substitution of another manufacturer’s products for the items listed as sole make and model items in section 3, above.
