About this opportunity
The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has awarded a contract to Hitachi Vantara Federal Corporation (HVF) for specialized information technology services related to maintaining the Executive Office of the President's Object Based Storage (OBS) system. The contract, valued at $2,128,325.81, was awarded on December 30, 2024, and covers operational support and maintenance for the proprietary Hitachi Content Platform (HCP) and Hitachi Content Intelligence (HCI) technologies. The justification for sole-source procurement was based on HVF's unique expertise in implementing and supporting these highly specialized technologies, which are critical for managing electronic records from the 46th Presidential Administration. The contract is set for an initial 12-month period with potential extensions up to 36 months, coinciding with the planned transfer of the OBS system from the White House Office of Administration to NARA on January 6, 2025.
Notice text
In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 8.405-6(d)(2), the following requirement is being justified and approved to restrict consideration under the statutory authority of 41 U.S.C. 4104 as implemented by FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B), “Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized.”
HVF has served as the prime WH OA contractor for the design, development, and implementation of EOP’s OBS system, including the impending transfer of OBS to NARA, and is the only authorized service provider for the Hitachi technologies deployed in EOP’s OBS solution. The products and software licenses integral to the EOP OBS system are HCP - Hitachi Content Platform and HCI – Hitachi Content Intelligence. These technologies are HVF products and are highly proprietary in nature, requiring specialized knowledge and skills to operate and maintain. HVF does not authorize partners to provide support on these products. Because these are Hitachi proprietary products, HVF maintains exclusive expertise around their implementation, configuration, and interoperability.For the reasons outlined above, Hitachi is the only vendor that can support NARA when NARA takes ownership of the OBS system. Given the critical importance of the records of the 46th Presidential Administration and the special access requests to which NARA will need to respond in a timely manner, NARA requires a vendor with specialized knowledge and skills to maintain the Hitachi-based OBS system until such time as the records are ingested into NARA’s ERA EOP system.
Awarded contract 47QTCA20D004R to HITACHI VANTARA FEDERAL CORP for 2128325.81 on 2024-12-30.
