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.

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. This procurement action is being funded with supplemental appropriations provided by the American Recovery and Re-Investment Act of 2009 (ARRA), Pub. L. 111-5. It is the intention of the Department of State to issue a bilateral contract resulting from this solicitation, which, in addition to other contract clauses, will incorporate commercial contract clauses specific to ARRA procurements. Contract clauses will include: FAR 52.212-5 Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statutes or Executive OrdersCommercial Items (Alternate II May 2009), 52.203-15 Whistleblower Protections Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Mar 2009), 52.204-11 American Recovery and Reinvestment ActReporting Requirements (Mar 2009), and 52.214-26 Audit and RecordsSealed Bidding (Mar 2009).

Failure to furnish a copy of all invoices accordingly may result in denied invoice approval and/or payment. All line items must be fully integrated. This Justification and Approval (J&A) on a brand name only basis is for the purchase of HP BladeSystem equipment. This is a new addition or new contract to expand the existing HP server infrastructure. A description of the supplies or services required to meet the Department's needs. The Mobile Computing ARRA funded project is designing, building, and deploying a remote access system (currently called GO, Global OpenNet) for global use by Department employees and contractors. GO is architected 10 support 5,000 concurrent users. The GO infrastructure will reside in ESOC east and will leverage the IRM IT Virtual Infrastructure. The IT Virtual Infrastructure provides virtual servers to host customer systems, allowing the ESOC to consolidate customer systems from stand-alone servers into an efficient, highly available, centrally managed infrastructure. The IT Virtual Infrastructure also provides virtual servers used internally to host the ESOC infrastructure services (e.g. Active Directory. DHCP, backup, availability monitoring, configuration management). HP servers have long served as the ESOC core infrastructure. The purchase to support the GO infrastructure is an extension of the existing infrastructure and is required to maintain consistency across sites to ensure the ability to centrally support the customer lights-out ESOCs.41 USC 253(c)(1), FAR 6.302-1, Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. As this is a brand name only justification, no one contractor's 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 Department's requirement as a key component of the Department's IRM IT Virtual Infrastructure. This purchase is an extension of the investment already made in this brand name. This is not a completely new installation but builds upon existing infrastructure. Question 3 above addresses the historical background of this issue more fully. The requirement will be completed as the IT community responds to price requests on FedBid.
