The U.S. Department of Navy, Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Contracting Division is procuring a Pure Storage flash array storage system and associated accessories through a brand name sole-source acquisition under FAR 11.105. The specific requirements include a Pure Storage C50R4 flash array system with 183TB of usable space (expandable to 366TB), featuring Full NVMe drive, 240V power, 3RU form factor, and 100GbE QSFP56 connections, along with a 3-year extended service agreement. Offerors must be an OEM, authorized dealer, distributor, or reseller and provide documentation of their authorization to sell Pure Storage equipment. The evaluation will consider compliance with specifications, supplier risk assessment, security clearance, and pricing, with technical and security factors weighted more heavily than cost.

This procurement is designated as a total small business set-aside despite Pure Storage being a large business, enabled by a class waiver granted by the Small Business Administration. The anticipated line items include the Pure Storage FlashArray (Part Number: FA-C50R4-ETH-260TB-14x18.6TB), Ethernet connection cards, physical connectors, first-year warranty, and Pure Storage Evergreen support subscription. The contract will be a firm fixed-price arrangement with an estimated delivery timeline of 8 weeks from the award date. Performance will take place at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC 20375, specifically for the Tactical Electronic Warfare Division (TEWD). The procurement is funded through Defense Working Capital Funds, though specific award values or budget ranges were not disclosed in the available documentation.
