About this file
This is a Scope of Work Verification form submitted by the Orange County Transportation Authority (Authority) for the procurement of Dell PowerEdge R660 and PowerEdge R660xs Tailor Made Servers. The project, identified by Requisition No. R001441, involves the purchase of Dell servers with a total budget of $300,000 for a six-month term. The scope of work document certifies that specifications were prepared to invite open competition and include a "brand name or equal" description, as it was determined to be impractical or uneconomical to write clear technical requirements without reference to the specific Dell PowerEdge models. The Authority has clearly identified the salient characteristics and specific features that equivalent products must meet to be considered as alternatives to the named brand servers.
The verification form, dated January 19, 2026, was signed by the Project Manager and the Information Systems Department Manager/Director, confirming compliance with Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Circular 4220.1F regulations regarding brand name specifications. The procurement allows for competitive bidding from authorized resellers while maintaining technical standards necessary for the Authority's operational requirements. No additional information regarding set-asides, incumbent contractors, site visits, bidder conferences, or award dates is specified in the provided documentation.
