- Description
- Brand Name Only Justification The Network Enterprise Center - Rock Island Arsenal intends to purchase Spectra Logic Brand LTO4 Backup Drives (5ea), Storage Chamber Upgrades (20 ea), 24 hr on-site response, Optical Cables (5ea). The Rock Island Arsenal currently uses a T950 Spectra Logic backup library. The drive brand used by Spectra Logic is an IBM Full Height LTO-4 tape drive. The IBM drive sits inside of a proprietary Spectra Logic sled that allows hot swappable capabilities and communication with the servers that actually push and pull data to the tape drive. Without the proprietary drive sled, the IBM tape drive cannot work with the setup. There are a total of 24 drive bays within the library itself. The size and connector type inside of the library is specific only to Spectra Logic and directly attaches to the Spectra Logic drive sled that houses the IBM tape drive. We anticipate the award of a competitive firm fixed price delivery order through the Computer Hardware, Enterprise Software and Solutions (CHESS) program which is the Army's designated primary source for commercial IT. In accordance with the CHESS ordering guidelines, the Fair Opportunity will be given to all six ITES-2H multiple award contract holders. A brand name justification has been approved and is being posted with this announcement. Market research has revealed that more than one ITES-2H multiple award contract holder can meet the requirement. When this is true the procurement must be made from CHESS IAW AFARS5139.101. Responses to this announcement must be emailed directly to Steve Perry, the Contract Specialist, at steven.r.perry32.civ@mail.mil.
