About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Global Strike Command's 90th Contracting Squadron is conducting market research for a NIPR Data Server Tech Refresh project at Francis E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming. The requirement involves procuring, installing, configuring, and testing two Dell PowerStore 500T Unified Storage Solution servers that will be installed in Buildings 333 and 65, with capabilities for data replication between servers and integration with existing Dell PowerProtect Data Managers for backup and restore operations. Contractors must have Dell service technician qualifications and comply with telecommunications, safety, operational security, and controlled unclassified information handling protocols. This sources sought notice is for market research purposes only and is not a formal solicitation, with no evaluation criteria specified since no award will be made from this announcement. All written responses must be submitted by Friday, August 15, 2025, at 4:00 PM MDT to the specified Air Force email contacts, with no phone inquiries accepted.
This opportunity is designated as a Competitive 8(a) set-aside under NAICS code 334111 (Electronic Computer Manufacturing) with a small business standard of 1,250 employees, though all small business set-aside categories will be considered based on market research results. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the documentation, and no contract values or budget ranges are disclosed as this is strictly a market research effort. The project requires installation of two Dell PowerStore 500T servers in separate locations on the base, with a 60-calendar day performance period anticipated after any future contract award. Work would be performed Monday through Friday from 0700-1600 hours, and contractors must demonstrate full operational capability through comprehensive pre-testing, in-progress testing, and post-testing phases. The servers must successfully replicate data between the two units and complete full backup and restore functionality with the existing Dell PowerProtect DM5500 and Data Domain 5500 systems.
