Brand-Name Class Justification and Approval (J&A) for Hardware Renewal Warranty Support and Maintenance

The nature of this action is to procure annual hardware renewal warranty support

(hereinafter referred to as “support”) and maintenance for previously purchased

proprietary, commercial off-the-shelf, brand-name hardware already integrated within the

existing mission partner infrastructure. Scope is limited to the defined duration and

ceiling of this J&A for hardware support and maintenance. This J&A does not cover the

procurement of new hardware. Scope is restricted to hardware support and maintenance

only (to include subscription or license renewals if appropriate). It is noted that the

ordered hardware support or maintenance can be in effect longer than the duration of this

class J&A as long as contract/order is issued during the covered period. Contract/orders

may also include option periods.
