    The document outlines the salient characteristics of a maintenance contract for HPE Tech Care Essential services, detailing specific parts and related identifiers. It lists five different part numbers, each associated with a unique Lifecycle ID and Support Account Reference. The quantities for each part number are specified as one, indicating a singular service agreement for each item. The intent of this document is to provide a clear inventory of the services and support associated with HPE Tech Care products, which is pertinent for government procurement processes, including Requests for Proposals (RFPs) and grants. This maintenance contract aims to ensure the proper upkeep and support of HPE technologies, highlighting the importance of these services in achieving operational efficiency and compliance within government operations.
    The document outlines a Sole Source Justification for a one-year hardware and software maintenance contract for existing equipment used by the F-22 Combined Test Force. The procurement is funded through R&D appropriation "3600." An initial Request for Information (RFI) posted in December 2024 yielded no responses despite several vendor inquiries; thus, a Request for Quotation (RFQ) was created. With no quotes received, the requirement will now be posted as a small business set-aside on sam.gov to gather open market offers. It is determined by the contracting officer that the award will be made to the vendor in the government’s best interest. Notably, market research quotes were received from HPE and World Wide Technologies in response to the RFI, but ultimately no viable quotes were received initially, indicating a competitive market landscape with opportunities for small businesses.
