This is a Brand Name Justification form from NASA Shared Services Center recommending sole-source procurement from Dell Technologies Inc. for Dell ProSupport Renewal. The procurement covers Dell Hardware Services to support the Dell Unity Server at Johnson Space Center's NASA Common Forensics Platform (NCFP) long-term storage capability.

The estimated period of performance is 9/19/24 - 11/06/25 for two items, and 11/07/24 - 11/06/25 for twelve items. The justification cites Dell's unique expertise in troubleshooting and providing on-call engineering support during deployment. Using another vendor would cause severe delays in NCFP deployment and significantly increase costs, as a new server with support would cost substantially more than the renewal, plus additional time for procurement and deployment. The form is dated 12/5/24 and follows template version V2.0 3-15-2017.
