B.5 PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

1.0 BACKGROUND

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Office of Information & Technology, Infrastructure Operations (IO), National Data Center Operations & Logistics, Data Center Operations (DCO), Connectivity strives to provide high quality, effective, and efficient Information Technology (IT) services to those responsible for providing care to the Veterans at the point-of-care as well as throughout all the points of the Veterans’ health care in an effective, timely and compassionate manner. VA depends on Information Management/Information Technology (IM/IT) systems to meet mission goals.

DCO is one of four pillars of IO with responsibility for business operations, facilities management, telecommunications, and physical security. DCO provides 24x7 facilities cooling and power monitoring to its customers.

DCO has a requirement for a Site Survey to be conducted to obtain facility device information in order to implement a Data Center Facilities Systems Monitoring Tool. The Data Center Facilities Monitoring Tool provides a single pane view across all sites to monitor the operational health status of facilities equipment and provides real-time monitoring and alert capability for electrical, heating, ventilation, air conditioning and environmental conditions in and around data center computer room operations. The Site Survey shall be conducted at the Regional Data Center (RDC) located at the VA Medical Center (VAMC) in Orlando, FL.

The goal of the Site Survey is to gather accurate site-specific data for the Data Center Facilities Systems Monitoring Tool to be seamlessly implemented in Orlando RDC. The existing Nlyte Energy Monitoring Optimizer (NEO) monitoring tool has been implemented to date in the Austin Information Technology Center (AITC), Philadelphia Information Technology Center (PITC) and Hines Information Technology Center (HITC) and will be implemented in the Regional Data Centers as part of the planned expansion.
