The Indian Health Service intends to award a firm-fixed-price, sole-source contract to CDW Government LLC for Unitrends hardware and software support services at the Mescalero Service Unit in Mescalero, New Mexico. This requirement is classified under NAICS 334112 Computer Storage Device Manufacturing and PSC 7K20 IT AND TELECOM - STORAGE PRODUCTS (HARDWARE AND PERPETUAL LICENSE SOFTWARE). The procurement provides essential maintenance for currently deployed backup, restoration, and disaster recovery systems to ensure data integrity and continuity of operations. These services are necessary to prevent disruptions to mission-critical systems and to protect against security vulnerabilities.
The agency is pursuing a waiver from competitive requirements under FAR 6.302-1, as market research indicates only one responsible source can satisfy the need for these specific proprietary support services. The estimated total value for this requirement is below the simplified acquisition threshold, and the set-aside is NONE. This special notice includes zero attachments and identifies Tamela Richards as the primary point of contact.
Responses to this notice must demonstrate that competition would be advantageous to the Government and would not be cost or time prohibitive.
