The information technology should also use the Windows Installer Service for installation to the default program files directory and should be able to silently install and uninstall.(c) Applications designed for normal end users shall run in the standard user context without elevated system administration privileges.(d) The Department of State currently intends to use Vista in Protected Mode in the future when all devices at all worldwide locations have sufficient capacity to permit an upgrade from the XP operating system. IF AN ALTERNATE PRODUCT IS FURNISHED UNDER A CONTRACT OR ORDER FOR AN EXACT PRODUCT, THE ALTERNATE PRODUCT WILL BE AN UNAUTHORIZED SUBSTITUTION, AND MAY YIELD CRIMINAL PENALTIES IN ADDITION TO ANY CIVIL REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO THE GOVERNMENT. A) The offeror shall provide the government, with its offer submission, written verification from the GSA schedule holder that an agreement exists that validates the offeror's right to offer the GSA schedule items on behalf of the GSA schedule holder, if other than the offeror; and, B) By proactively complying with this offer term, sellers accept that the government will make award to the GSA schedule holder only, as the sole awardee. Further, the sole awardee and only the sole awardee shall submit its invoice to the government and receive payment from the government. The Contractor and its employees shall exercise the utmost discretion in regard to all matters relating to their duties and functions. They shall not communicate to any person any information known to them by reason of their performance of services under this contract which has not been made public, except in the necessary performance of their duties or upon written authorization of the Contracting Officer. All documents and records (including photographs) generated during the performance of work under this contract shall be for the sole use and become the exclusive property of the U.S Government. Furthermore, no article, book, pamphlet, email, recording, broadcast, speech television appearance, film or photograph concerning any aspect of work performed under this contract shall be published or disseminated through any media without the prior written authorization of the Contracting Officer. These obligations do no cease upon the expiration or termination of this contract. The Contractor shall include the substance of this provision in all contracts of employment and in all subcontracts hereunder. DOS A/LM/AQM Memorandum dated 04/23/08: GSA schedule orders may include "open market" items, i.e., items not on the awardee's list of GSA schedule items, only in compliance with FAR 8.402(f). Offerors should verify in writing which items are listed on their GSA schedule contracts and which items are "open market" items. For an offer to qualify as an offer based on a GSA schedule contract, the value of "open market" items included in the offer may not exceed the applicable micro-purchase threshold as defined in FAR 2.101. The Office of Acquisition Management (A/LM/AQM), Department of State (DoS), is processing this acquisition at the request of the Bureau of Information Resource Management, Systems Integration Office (IRM/OPS/SIO). This Justification and approval (J&A) on a brand name only basis is for the use of IBM and CISCO equipment. The use of a brand name description is essential to the Governments requirements, for Department of States continued support of the payroll/retirement systems, thereby precluding consideration of the products of another company. IRM/OPS/SIO has identified the required hardware [an IBM z9 Business Class (BC) Mainframe (2096-N02 processor model series), two (2) IBM DS6800 SANS, two (2) IBM SAN19B-R routers, and two (2) CISCO MDS 922i switch devices] as a key requirement for the Departments continued use/operation of its payroll and retirement software applications. The equipment listed above is required to maintain the existing Department of States software applications, which is based on the IBM operating software that is needed in order to carry out these functions. The 41 USC 253(c) (1), and FAR 6.302-1 are cited at the statutory authority. As this is a brand name only justification, no one contractors unique qualifications are cited as the basis for this justification. Rather, the products identified by brand name herein have been determined to be the only items that meet the Departments requirements as a key component of the Departments continued use/operation of its payroll and retirement systems, which must run on the IBM operating software that is needed in order to carry out these functions. The requirement will be competed as the IT community response to price requests on FedBid. IRM/OPS/SIO has identified the IBM z9 BC Mainframe, SANS array, SAN router, and Cisco equipment as key components of the Departments Enterprise Operations Center (EOC). Equipment listed above is required for continued support/maintenance of the departments core business functions (payroll, retirement), based on compatibility with existing hardware, which has reached end-of-life and is no longer maintainable by the hardware vendor (IBM).
