Tape Media Migration Questions and Answers Round 3.docx

This amendment to a federal contract opportunity solicitation requests capability statements and rough order of magnitude cost estimates from vendors for restoring approximately 27,000 LTO2 backup tapes containing Federal Aviation Administration email files and migrating the restored data to the agency's cloud services. Interested vendors should provide responses by November 29, 2021 detailing their approach for one or both scenarios: restoring all mail files from the tapes held in a Washington D.C. area storage facility to the FAA Cloud Services, or restoring the data to digital media and delivering it to the FAA. The restoration project involves up to 65,000 employee accounts per year spanning 2008 to 2014 backups totaling around 2500 terabytes of email data. Vendors must demonstrate they can maintain the chain of custody of records and properly validate the integrity of restored data.
