Purchase M40HA Network-Attached Storage Device

The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) intends to award a sole source purchase order to iXsystems Inc for the purchase of an M40HA Network-Attached Storage Device. The purchase will be made utilizing Simplified Acquisition Procedures in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13.106-1(b) for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold of $250,000. Interested parties may identify their interests and capability to respond to this requirement, but the Government may still decide not to compete this proposed purchase order. The key aspects of this opportunity include: • The purchase of an M40HA Network-Attached Storage Device • The use of Simplified Acquisition Procedures • The potential for competition, but the Government's discretion to award a sole source contract • The requirement for interested parties to show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government
