- Description
- Server Specifications DESCRIPTION: This pre-solicitation notice is issued by Department of State (DoS) to solicit participation by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to work in direct coordination with DoS, Global IT Modernization (GITM) Program, to establish server product lines that will best meet GITM’s specifications. Each OEM’s specification, if qualified, will be used in a follow-on procurement. No specifications outside of this pre-solicitation shall be considered for the follow-on procurement. All interested OEMs should contact Felicia Goudy, Contract Specialist, via email, GoudyFD@state.gov, or phone at (703) 875-5202. SCOPE: The GITM Program intends to evaluate servers for use in its ongoing global refresh of the Department’s IT infrastructure and identify a complete suite of servers to meet the Program’s requirements over the next several years. GITM is moving to a virtualized implementation of its standard overseas post configuration. GITM has previously used individual servers functioning as Domain; Controllers; Exchange servers; File/print servers; Web servers; and SQL servers. STANDARD COMPONENTS: The Program intends to use a pair of identical servers from the selected product line to run VMWare ESX Virtual Infrastructure 3.5 and 4.0 with a mixture of internal hard drives and iSCSi-connected storage. Server installation shall include the following: two (2) servers; LTO 4 tape drive; KVM switch; and a KVM console. Depending on individual Post requirements, the number of servers and internal hard drives in each may vary but shall be from the same server product line. Standard (not virtualized) servers will be deployed at some locations and are required to remain in the same product line. SERVER PRODUCT LINE: For the purpose of this evaluation, a server product line is defined as a group of servers, from the same manufacturer, that share common core components and features, such that the associated servers in the product line perform essentially the same when configured identically. The components and features that would be common to a product line may include: •Motherboards •Processor series •Controllers •Chipset series •Type of RAM •Mounting style •Hot swappable components •Hard drives •Network interface cards •Remote monitoring features Evaluation of a product line shall be based on its ability to provide a solution that meets all of GITM’s specifications. SPECIFICATIONS AND ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS: See Attachment SCHEDULE: This process shall be completed in accordance with the timeline listed below. Any OEM that does not meet the timeline will not be allowed to participate in the follow-on procurement. Timeline: DateEvent July 23, COBVendors who plan to participate must respond and identify technical and sales representatives that will be the POCs for the remainder of the evaluation. Responses should be made to GITMvendorcoordination@state.gov and GoudyFD@state.gov July 23 – July 29GITM will coordinate with each participating OEM to schedule technology demonstrations/reviews and the following will be established. •OEM provided equipment specifications •Evaluation equipment delivery date (prior to due date) August 20OEMs will provide evaluation units and final equipment specification on OEM letterhead.
