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. Pursuant to the Trade Agreements Act (19 U.S.C. 2512(a)) (TAA), Federal acquisitions of supplies may be made only from offerors that will supply products of an eligible country under any of the free trade agreements entered into pursuant to the TAA. An article is considered a product of a country only if it is wholly a product of that country or if it has been substantially transformed in that country into a new and different article of commerce with a name, character, or use distinct from that of the original article(s). Note that any item that is a discreet article as it is sold in commerce, regardless of its ultimate function or use, cannot be considered substantially transformed based solely on its integration into IT or other systems. IRM/OPS/ENMINED/EMS has identified Hewlett Packard (HP) equipment as a key component for ENM enterprise support. HP equipment for the hardware replacement of the core OpenNet Active Directory (AD) and AD support servers. The Active Directory is an integral part of the DoS IT Infrastructure and coupled with growing and changing operating environment, our hardware must be kept up to date. In addition this site is vital for the daily operations of the SMART and Exchange infrastructure. This continuity of hardware allows ENM to provide quicker support and response time to resolving issues on these servers. The current H/W has been in place for over 3 years and is nearing the end of its lifecycle. Additionally, the HP monitoring / Management software allows you to remotely update hardware driver and firmware on HP servers for greater security. You cannot update drivers and firmware on no-HP servers using the HP Monitoring / Management software -these servers are core equipment for command and control systems and need to be the same environment to perform forensics and advance troubleshooting of hardware related issues -Maintaining a single brand also allows for the possibility of hardware interchange in system emergencies reducing downtime. Frequently in the field server hardware is swapped to continue operations until a replacement part is installed. HP server hardware is not interoperable with no-HP hardware. The 41 USC 253(c)(I). and FAR 6.302-1 are cited as the statutory authority. As this is a brand name only justification, no one contractor's unique qualifications art cited as the basis for this justification. Rather, the products identified by brand name herein have been determined to he the most cost effective means to meet the ENM support requirement and have been approved by the ENM CCH.
