About this opportunity

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command Fort Sam Houston published this Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for the procurement of an IBM TS4300 Tape Library system for the Interactive Personnel Electronics Records Management System (iPERMS) used by the U.S. Army Human Resources Command. The procurement includes multiple hardware components such as tape expansion modules, power supplies, rack mount kits, power cords, and LTO 9 Fibre Channel drives, along with associated support services for a 12-month contract period using fiscal year 2025 Operation and Maintenance Army funds. The contract was sole-sourced to IBM due to the proprietary nature of the tape library system, which is an integral component of the Army's Records Management Application used to maintain military human resources records, with the justification stating that replacing IBM components would adversely impact mission operations and cause extended system downtime. The contract was awarded on May 20, 2025, under Federal Acquisition Regulation 16.505(a)(4) which allows restricting consideration to a single manufacturer, though the specific contract value has been redacted from the documentation. The procurement supports the Army's critical personnel records management infrastructure and includes warranty services and tape cartridges as part of the comprehensive solution.
