About this opportunity
The Department of State Office of Acquisition Management has awarded contract 19AQMM26F1697 to Better Direct, LLC on a limited-source basis on September 30, 2026 for two HP Z8 Fury G6i Workstation Desktop PCs with associated components and accessories.
The justification is issued under FAR 16.505(a)(4), which permits procurement of supplies or services determined to be unique or highly specialized. The Department of State's Bureau of Intelligence and Research Technology & Innovation Office established that the HP Z8 Fury G6i platform is essential to meet INR's mission requirements for high-performance computing, specialized applications, and data-intensive workloads. The platform provides compatibility with the Department's existing enterprise infrastructure, security configuration, endpoint management processes, and lifecycle support environment. An existing office within the Bureau currently operates the same workstation specifications, providing an established and supportable configuration. Procuring an alternate platform would require additional engineering analysis, validation, compatibility and security testing, and configuration management, potentially increasing costs and delaying operational use.
Market research via the NASA SEWP V Portal identified two NASA SEWP contract holders authorized to provide HP products, with zero to one small business capable of providing the specified part number B52WLAV. Although the acquisition is restricted to the HP Z8 Fury G6i brand, competition will be maintained among eligible NASA SEWP contract holders authorized to provide the specified configuration. The Contracting Officer will determine price reasonableness through competition among SEWP vendors, comparison with historical pricing, published commercial pricing, and the Independent Government Cost Estimate.
NAICS 541519, PSC 7B20.
