About this opportunity
The 42nd Communications Squadron at Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama, requires an urgent upgrade of its HPE 3PAR 8400 2N NIPR Core Storage Hardware system, which has experienced a partial system node failure not covered under existing support services. The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command is procuring a complete turnkey solution that includes replacing the failed system with a new Modular Smart Array (MSA), along with equipment procurement, installation, configuration, data migration, testing, and ongoing support services. Contractors must provide new, non-refurbished equipment that is Trade Agreement Act compliant, forward/upward compatible, and meets specific technical standards, while also delivering comprehensive documentation, training, and 24x7 telephone support with next business day onsite service. The procurement requires vendors to demonstrate technical capabilities through references from similar contracts performed within the last three years and provide manufacturer specifications proving their ability to meet requirements. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on May 12, 2025, with responses due by June 27, 2025, under solicitation number FA330025Q0015.
This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 334111 (Electronic Computer Manufacturing) and PSC code 7K20 (IT and Telecom Storage Products). The contractor will be responsible for migrating three hosts to a direct connect configuration and removing two current HPE SN6000B 16GB 48/24 FC Switches from the data path as part of the infrastructure upgrade. All new equipment must include three years of initial support coverage, and the contractor must provide remote diagnostics capabilities and on-site maintenance services. The project requires delivery to Building 1154 at Maxwell AFB, with the contractor responsible for removing all replaced parts and residue from the base upon completion. No incumbent contractor or specific budget range is mentioned in the available documentation, though the comprehensive nature of the turnkey solution suggests a substantial investment in critical communications infrastructure.
