The Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) through the Defense Logistics Agency’s DSS Acquisition Staff Directorate located at Fort Belvoir, VA is looking for possible sources to fulfill an anticipated requirement for replacement of servers for Agency-wide implementation. This is a REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) ONLY and in no way implies an award by the Government. We are seeking INFORMATION ONLY. DCAA is contemplating the possible replacement of servers Agency-wide throughout the continental United States. These servers will upgrade/replace current system hardware that is no longer under warranty and has become technically obsolete. The requirement potentially involves the purchase of up to one hundred fifteen (115) file/print servers; thirty-seven (37) rack mounted 1U servers to replace domain controllers, web servers, DNS, SMTP MRTG, RPM and the APPS COOP servers; and two (2) rack mounted 6U or 7U servers to replace the current Cisco Works HQ back-up server and the Memphis back-up servers. TRADE-IN INFORMATION: In order to meet this potential requirement and defray costs, DCAA wishes to “trade-in” (as credit to be applied toward the purchase of the new servers) some of its existing servers that have become technically obsolete. The following will apply to the trade-in of these older servers: (a) All trade-in equipment will need to be packaged and picked up at a number of locations throughout the United States. (b) The trade-in equipment will consist of the following: 130 each Dell PowerEdge 4300 Servers* 4 each Dell 2300 Servers** 8 each Dell 6300 Servers*** 2 each Dell 4400 Servers**** *Minimum spec on these servers: 550MHz, 256MB RAM, 3x36 GB HD, 35/70 GB DLT7000 TBU. **Minimum spec on these servers: 350 MHz, 256MB RAM, 2x 9.1 GB HD ***Minimum spec on these servers: 4x400 MHz, 2 GB RAM, 2 x 9 and 3 x18 GB hard drives. ****Minimum spec on these servers: 2 x 1 GHz, 512MB RAM, 3x36 GB HD, 20/40 GB TBU. (c) DCAA personnel will sanitize all hard drives prior to trade-in. A completed “Certification of Hard Drive Disposition” form will accompany each server. (d) DCAA personnel will complete a “Certification of Computer Configuration/ Equipment for Exchange” form for each server traded. This form will indicate the exact specification of each server; it will all certify that the server is in good working order. (e) Any costs associated with the trade-in of these servers (i.e., shipping/ handling fees, processing fees, etc) will be deducted from the “trade-in credit” received. The Government would not award a separate contract to cover these costs. NEW EQUPMENT INFORMATION: If the Government does pursue this potential requirement, the replacement servers shall meet the minimum specifications provided below. All servers will be shipped to multiple DCAA locations within the continental United States. All servers will be configured prior to delivery to the designated DCAA offices. The type of maintenance/warranty required is supplied with each configuration.
