About this opportunity

The Department of State's Office of Acquisition Management issued Justification and Approval 19AQMM25F1264 on August 22, 2025, for Dell Virtual Desktop Interface (VDI) annual support and maintenance services for the Bureau of Intelligence & Research Technology & Innovation Office (INR/TIO). The procurement encompasses 37 line items of Dell VXRail hardware and comprehensive support services, including ProSupport Software Maintenance, 4-Hour 7x24 Technical Support, 4-Hour 7x24 Onsite Service, and enterprise hard drive retention options. The justification for sole-source procurement rests on system compatibility and intellectual property requirements specific to the INRISS Network, with the government determining that no alternative manufacturers' products would be compatible with the existing infrastructure and that maintenance must be purchased directly from Dell or authorized partners on a brand-name basis. The contract was awarded to Software Information Resource Corp. (UEI # EJJMMJHYDFH6), though the specific contract value remains undisclosed in the available documentation. While the procurement was conducted as a limited competition among NASA SEWP V authorized Dell resellers—a pool comprising 149 total SEWP contractors carrying Dell products, including 118 small businesses—the justification emphasizes that this approach was necessary to ensure predictable and sustainable performance for the network while maintaining credibility with the user community.
