Dell Servers/Equipment

The Marine Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC), operating under the United States Special Operations Command, is procuring Dell COTS equipment to support daily mission requirements through a brand name specific solicitation (H9225725QE021). The procurement includes three Dell XC760 Core Base servers with dual Intel Xeon processors, 64GB memory modules, SSD drives, and enterprise-grade components, along with 25 twelve-month Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure software licenses for virtualization support. Additionally, the solicitation covers Aruba networking equipment including 2 Aruba 9004 US TAA Branch Gateways and 72 Aruba AP-503H routers with associated power cords and console cables. The brand name requirement is justified by compatibility needs with MARSOC's existing Dell server environment and Aruba network infrastructure to ensure seamless integration and unified management capabilities. Evaluation will be conducted based on technical acceptability and price using firm fixed price arrangements, with offers due on August 8, 2025, and delivery required by August 31, 2025.

This procurement is set aside 100% for Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) concerns under NAICS code 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) with a size standard of $34 million, though the actual contract value appears to be under the $250,000 simplified acquisition threshold. The solicitation specifies quantities of three Dell servers, 25 software licenses, 2 gateway devices, and 72 router units, with a contract period of performance extending through August 30, 2026. Performance will take place at Camp Lejeune in Sneads Ferry, North Carolina, where MARSOC operations require uninterrupted connectivity and compatibility with existing infrastructure. The procurement emphasizes the critical operational need for equipment that can integrate seamlessly with current Dell Enterprise XC series servers and Aruba 300 & 500 Series network components. Payment processing will be handled through the Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) system, and the contract incorporates standard FAR commercial item provisions along with federal compliance requirements for cybersecurity and supply chain security.
