Procurement for DELL PowerEdge R260

Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) under the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command is procuring five DELL PowerEdge R260 servers with part number 210-BLVL-19890. The servers will replace aging PowerEdge systems that are critical for network monitoring, DHCP, and DNS services for the RDT&E network but are no longer receiving vendor support. Vendors must be approved authorized resellers of Dell products and must provide documentation confirming this status with their quotes. The detailed specifications include Intel Xeon E-2414 2.6G processor, Trusted Platform Module, 16GB UDIMM memory, 2TB SATA hard drive, PERC H755 adapter, performance BIOS settings, and ProSupport service offerings. Quotes are due by 11:00 AM on August 27, 2025, with vendors required to submit pricing on company letterhead including CAGE code, FOB destination, point of contact, GSA contract number if applicable, and business size certification.

This procurement is set aside exclusively for small businesses under NAICS code 334111 (Electronic Computer Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 1,250 employees. The government has issued a non-competitive procurement justification citing Dell Technologies Inc. as the single source manufacturer due to brand name requirements and Dell's proprietary rights for server interoperability with existing systems. The procurement falls under the simplified acquisition threshold and will result in a firm-fixed price purchase order. The five servers are needed to maintain DoD/Navy STIG compliance and ensure the security and availability of the remote site's network infrastructure. Performance will take place in Westlake, Maryland 20817, where the standardized PowerEdge R260 platforms will improve maintainability and ensure compatibility with current software versions while reducing risks associated with unsupported hardware.
