Echo server data recovery

The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation, specifically the Provo Area Office, has issued a Special Notice for Echo Server Data Recovery. The notice indicates the government's intent to award a single-source procurement to AllTech for specialized data recovery services. The contract will utilize the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) for a sole-source contract. The procurement is focused on recovering data from four hard drives on a RAID10 server that experienced a catastrophic RAID controller failure. The Provo Area Office, which manages water projects across Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, and Nevada, is overseeing this data recovery effort.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to secure professional data recovery services with a performance period from 06/20/2025 through 09/18/2025. Key requirements include delivering a written evaluation of hard drive recovery options and executing the actual data recovery, with both deliverables due 7 days prior to contract completion. The contractor is expected to maximize data recovery from the four hard drives, with a preference for full data restoration. There are no special security requirements associated with this contract, as no sensitive documents are present on the hard drives. The recovered data will be transferred to an external hard drive, which will be retrieved by the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR). The procurement falls under NAICS Category 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and PSC Category DC01 (IT and Telecom - Data Center Support Services). The contract is not set aside for any specific group, indicating open eligibility for qualified contractors.
