Virus Protection Government Bids & RFPs

The bid notice states equipment period comment 1manufacturer warranty 3 years manufacturer warrantyextended warranty 3 years 3 year extended warranty **** help desk support next business day onsite support accidental damage protection complete device replacement in case of hardware failure with exchange of old device.

The bid notice states after evaluating multiple quotes, specifications, pricing, technical specs for the micro pc that meet our requirements, the dell **** stands out as the recommended solution. alternative brands hp elite mini 800 g9 and lenovo thinkcentre m90q gen 4 were evaluated, however the dell precision micro **** has the following characteristics that are preferred by the government: technical fit: the dell system fully meets or exceeds all requirements, including windows 11 pro, intel vpro capability, ddr5 memory, nvme storage, wifi 6e, and smart meeting pro compatibility. lowest evaluated cost: among the vendors that submitted full proposals, dell via itg offered the lowest total cost while meeting all technical specifications. integration with existing environment: dell systems are already deployed within onrs ecosystem, allowing seamless integration, lower onboarding overhead, and reduced support risk compared to introducing hp or lenovo. risk mitigation: dells offering minimizes operational risk by aligning with existing infrastructure, while hp and lenovo introduce additional complexity, higher cost, or new vendor relationships that may delay deployment. warranty and support: dells 3year manufacturer warranty with optional extensions, nextbusinessday onsite support, and accidental damage protection ensures reliable long term support.

The bid notice states he estimated cost of this requirement is 27, 000.

The bid notice states his sole source procurement is justified under far **** 1, as oxford nanoimaging is the only responsible source capable of providing the super resolution microscope due to critical criteria 1, the system must be imaging based with brightfield and fluorescence modes hardware capabilities for 100x magnification, epifluorescence illumination, highly inclined and laminated optical sheet hilo fluorescence illumination, and total internal reflectance fluorescence tirf illumination. these criteria are necessary for the single system to be capable of providing required measurements across the nanometer to micrometer length scales presented by the range of biological materials bbd currently needs to measure and characterize. critical criteria 2, the system must be compatible with placement inside an existing, conventional biological safety cabinet bsc within bbds laboratories. as such, the system must have an overall footprint no larger than 36 x 24 x 20 w x d x h to fit within the working volume of the bsc. in addition, the system must be constructed so as not to require any external vibration isolation or stabilization in excess of a placement surface that can support the physical weight of the system with a maximum system weight of 70 kg. these criteria are necessary since the biological materials to be studied by bbd include biological materials at biosafety levels 1 to 2 and, therefore, require a biosafety enclosure for operator person protection during manipulations of the measurement samples. furthermore, bbd needs to incorporate these new measurement capabilities into an existing laboratory space with one conventional bsc and no capacity to accommodate any measurement instrument specific biological safety enclosures. critical criteria 3, the system must operate as a class 1 laser device at all times during user operation. bbds existing laboratory space for these measurements with biological materials is not equipped with the necessary engineering controls that would allow safe operation of laser devices classified above class 1 during user operation, and such engineering modifications are not currently feasible.
