DEFINITIONS
Contract means a legal instrument by which a non–Federal entity purchases property or services needed to carry out the project or program under a Federal award. The term as used in this part does not include a legal instrument, even if the non–Federal entity considers it a contract, when the substance of the transaction meets the definition of a Federal award or subaward Contractor means an entity that receives a contract as defined in Contract.
Cooperative agreement means a legal instrument of financial assistance between a Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity and a non–Federal entity that, consistent with 31 U.S.C. 6302–6305:
(a) Is used to enter into a relationship the principal purpose of which is to transfer anything of value from the Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity to the non–Federal entity to carry out a public purpose authorized by a law of the United States (see 31 U.S.C. 6101(3)); and not to acquire property or services for the Federal government or pass-through entity's direct benefit or use;
(b) Is distinguished from a grant in that it provides for substantial involvement between the Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity and the non–Federal entity in carrying out the activity contemplated by the Federal award. (c) The term does not include:
(1) A cooperative research and development agreement as defined in 15 U.S.C. 3710a; or (2) An agreement that provides only:
(i) Direct United States Government cash assistance to an individual; (ii) A subsidy;
(iii) A loan;
(iv) A loan guarantee; or
(v) Insurance.

(c) Federal award does not include other contracts that a Federal agency uses to buy goods or services from a contractor or a contract to operate Federal government owned, contractor operated facilities (GOCOs). (d) See also definitions of Federal financial assistance, grant agreement, and cooperative agreement.
Non–Federal entity means a state, local government, Indian tribe, institution of higher education (IHE), or nonprofit organization that carries out a Federal award as a recipient or subrecipient.

Pass-through entity means a non–Federal entity that provides a subaward to a subrecipient to carry out part of a Federal program.
Recipient means a non–Federal entity that receives a Federal award directly from a Federal awarding agency to carry out an activity under a Federal program. The term recipient does not include subrecipients.

A subaward may be provided through any form of legal agreement, including an agreement that the pass-through entity considers a contract.
Subrecipient means a non–Federal entity that receives a subaward from a pass-through entity to carry out part of a Federal program; but does not include an individual that is a beneficiary of such program.

FEMA AND ADDITIONAL FEDERAL FUNDING SPECIAL CONDITIONS
Awarded Supplier(s) (also referred to as Contractors) may need to respond to events and losses where products and services are needed for the immediate and initial response to emergency situations such as, but not limited to, water damage, fire damage, vandalism cleanup, biohazard cleanup, sewage decontamination, deodorization, and/or wind damage during a disaster or emergency situation. By submitting a proposal, the Supplier is accepted these FEMA and Additional Federal Funding Special Conditions required by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and other federal entities. “Contract” in the below pages under FEMA AND ADDITIONAL FEDERAL FUNDING SPECIAL CONDITIONS is also referred to and defined as the “Master Agreement”. “Contractor” in the below pages under FEMA AND ADDITIONAL FEDERAL FUNDING SPECIAL CONDITIONS is also referred to and defined as “Supplier” or “Awarded Supplier”.
Conflicts of Interest
No employee, officer, or agent may participate in the selection, award, or administration of a contract supported by a FEMA award if he or she has a real or apparent conflict of interest. Such a conflict would arise when the employee, officer, or agent, any member of his or her immediate family, his or her partner, or an organization which employs or is about to employ any of these parties, has a financial or other interest in or a tangible personal benefit from a firm considered for award. 2 C.F.R. § 200.318(c)(1); See also Standard Form 424D, ¶ 7; Standard Form 424B, ¶ 3. i. FEMA considers a “financial interest” to be the potential for gain or loss to the employee, officer, or agent, any member of his or her immediate family, his or her partner, or an organization which employs or is about to employ any of these parties as a result of the particular procurement. The prohibited financial interest may arise from ownership of certain financial instruments or investments such as stock, bonds, or real estate, or from a salary, indebtedness, job offer, or similar interest that might be affected by the particular procurement. ii. FEMA considers an “apparent” conflict of interest to exist where an actual conflict does not exist, but where a reasonable person with knowledge of the relevant facts would question the impartiality of the employee, officer, or agent participating in the procurement. c. Gifts. The officers, employees, and agents of the Participating Public Agency nor the Participating Public Agency (“NFE”) must neither solicit nor accept gratuities, favors, or anything of monetary value from contractors or parties to subcontracts. However, NFE’s may set standards for situations in which the financial interest is de minimus, not substantial, or the gift is an unsolicited item of nominal value. 2 C.F.R. § 200.318(c)(1). d. Violations. The NFE’s written standards of conduct must provide for disciplinary actions to be applied for violations of such standards by officers, employees, or agents of the NFE. 2 C.F.R. § 200.318(c)(1). For example, the penalty for a NFE’s employee may be dismissal, and the penalty for a contractor might be the termination of the contract.
Contractor Integrity
A contractor must have a satisfactory record of integrity and business ethics. Contractors that are debarred or suspended, as described in and subject to the debarment and suspension regulations implementing Executive Order 12549, Debarment and Suspension (1986) and Executive Order 12689, Debarment and Suspension (1989) at 2 C.F.R. Part 180 and the Department of Homeland Security’s regulations at 2 C.F.R.
Part 3000 (Non-procurement Debarment and Suspension), must be rejected and cannot receive contract awards at any level.
Notice of Legal Matters Affecting the Federal Government In the event FTA or DOT funding is used by Participating Public Agency, Contractor agrees to:
1) The Contractor agrees that if a current or prospective legal matter that may affect the Federal Government emerges, the Contractor shall promptly notify the Participating Public Agency of the legal matter in accordance with 2 C.F.R. §§ 180.220 and 1200.220. 2) The types of legal matters that require notification include, but are not limited to, a major dispute, breach, default, litigation, or naming the Federal Government as a party to litigation or a legal disagreement in any forum for any reason.
Version June 28, 2023
2024056 Page 60 of 133
3) The Contractor further agrees to include the above clause in each subcontract, at every tier, financed in whole or in part with Federal assistance provided by the FTA.
Public Policy
A contractor must comply with the public policies of the Federal Government and state, local government, or tribal government. This includes, among other things, past and current compliance with the:
a. Equal opportunity and nondiscrimination laws
b. Five affirmative steps described at 2 C.F.R. § 200.321(b) for all subcontracting under contracts supported by FEMA financial assistance; and FEMA Procurement Guidance June 21, 2016 Page IV- 7 c. Applicable prevailing wage laws, regulations, and executive orders Affirmative Steps
For any subcontracting opportunities, Contractor must take the following Affirmative steps:
1. Placing qualified small and minority businesses and women's business enterprises on solicitation lists;
2. Assuring that small and minority businesses, and women's business enterprises are solicited whenever they are potential sources;
3. Dividing total requirements, when economically feasible, into smaller tasks or quantities to permit maximum participation by small and minority businesses, and women's business enterprises;
4. Establishing delivery schedules, where the requirement permits, which encourage participation by small and minority businesses, and women's business enterprises; and
5. Using the services and assistance, as appropriate, of such organizations as the Small Business Administration and the Minority Business Development Agency of the Department of Commerce.
Prevailing Wage Requirements
When applicable, the awarded Contractor (s) and any and all subcontractor(s) agree to comply with all laws regarding prevailing wage rates including the Davis-Bacon Act, applicable to this solicitation and/or Participating Public Agencies. The Participating Public Agency shall notify the Contractor of the applicable pricing/prevailing wage rates and must apply any local wage rates requested. The Contractor and any subcontractor(s) shall comply with the prevailing wage rates set by the Participating Public Agency.
Federal Requirements
If products and services are issued in response to an emergency or disaster recovery the items below, located in this FEMA Special Conditions section of the Federal Funds Certifications, are activated and required when federal funding may be utilized.
2 C.F.R. § 200.326 and 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Appendix II, Required Contract Clauses
1. CONTRACT REMEDIES
Contracts for more than the federal simplified acquisition threshold (SAT), the dollar amount below which an NFE may purchase property or services using small purchase methods, currently set at $250,000 for procurements made on or after June 20, 2018,4 must address administrative, contractual, or legal remedies in instances where contractors violate or breach contract terms and must provide for sanctions and penalties as appropriate.
1.1 Applicability
This contract provision is required for contracts over the SAT, currently set at $250,000 for procurements made on or after June 20, 2018. Although not required for contracts at or below the SAT, FEMA suggests including a remedies provision.
Version June 28, 2023
2024056 Page 61 of 133
1.2 Additional Considerations
For FEMA’s Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) Program, recipients must include a penalty clause in all contracts for any AFG-funded vehicle, regardless of dollar amount. In that situation, the contract must include a clause addressing that non-delivery by the contract’s specified date or other vendor nonperformance will require a penalty of no less than $100 per day until such time that the vehicle, compliant with the terms of the contract, has been accepted by the recipient. This penalty clause should, however, account for force majeure or acts of God. AFG recipients should refer to the applicable year’s Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for additional information, which can be accessed at FEMA.gov.
2. TERMINATION FOR CAUSE AND CONVENIENCE
a. Standard. All contracts in excess of $10,000 must address termination for cause and for convenience by the non-Federal entity, including the manner by which it will be effected and the basis for settlement.

This provision shall not apply to instances in which an employee who has access to the compensation information of other employees or applicants as a part of such employee's essential job functions discloses the compensation of such other employees or applicants to individuals who do not otherwise have access to such information, unless such disclosure is in response to a formal complaint or charge, in furtherance of an investigation, proceeding, hearing, or action, including an investigation conducted by the employer, or is consistent with the contractor's legal duty to furnish information.
(4) The contractor will send to each labor union or representative of workers with which he has a collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, a notice to be provided advising the said labor union or workers' representatives of the contractor's commitments under this section and shall post copies of the notice in conspicuous places available to employees and applicants for employment.

The contractor will take such action with respect to any subcontract or purchase order as the administering agency may direct as a means of enforcing such provisions, including sanctions for noncompliance:
Provided, however, that in the event a contractor becomes involved in, or is threatened with, litigation with a subcontractor or vendor as a result of such direction by the administering agency, the contractor may request the United States to enter into such litigation to protect the interests of the United States.
The applicant further agrees that it will be bound by the above equal opportunity clause with respect to its own employment practices when it participates in federally assisted construction work: Provided, That if the applicant so participating is a State or local government, the above equal opportunity clause is not applicable to any agency, instrumentality or subdivision of such government which does not participate in work on or under the contract.
The applicant agrees that it will assist and cooperate actively with the administering agency and the Secretary of Labor in obtaining the compliance of contractors and subcontractors with the equal opportunity clause and the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor, that it will furnish the administering agency and the Secretary of Labor such information as they may require for the supervision of such compliance, and that it will otherwise assist the administering agency in the discharge of the agency's primary responsibility for securing compliance.
The applicant further agrees that it will refrain from entering into any contract or contract modification subject to Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, with a contractor debarred from, or who has not demonstrated eligibility for, Government contracts and federally assisted construction contracts pursuant to the Executive Order and will carry out such sanctions and penalties for violation of the equal opportunity clause as may be imposed upon contractors and subcontractors by the administering agency or the Secretary of Labor pursuant to Part II, Subpart D of the Executive Order. In addition, the applicant agrees that if it fails or refuses to comply with these undertakings, the administering agency may take any or all of the following actions: Cancel, terminate, or suspend in whole or in part this grant (contract, loan, insurance, guarantee); refrain from extending any further assistance to the applicant under the program with respect to which the failure or refund occurred until satisfactory assurance of future compliance has been received from such applicant; and refer the case to the Department of Justice for appropriate legal proceedings.

It is applicable to construction work. These requirements do not apply to the purchase of supplies or materials or articles ordinarily available on the open market, or contracts for transportation or transmission of intelligence.
c. Suggested Language. The regulation at 29 C.F.R. § 5.5(b) provides contract clause language concerning compliance with the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act. FEMA suggests including the following contract clause:
Compliance with the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act. (1) Overtime requirements. No contractor or subcontractor contracting for any part of the contract work which may require or involve the employment of laborers or mechanics shall require or permit any such laborer or mechanic in any workweek in which he or she is employed on such work to work in excess of forty hours in such workweek unless such laborer or mechanic receives compensation at a rate not less than one and one-half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of forty hours in suchworkweek. (2) Violation; liability for unpaid wages; liquidated damages. In the event of any violation of the clause set forth in paragraph (b)(1) of this section the contractor and any subcontractor responsible therefor shall be liable for the unpaid wages. In addition, such contractor and subcontractor shall be liable to the United States (in the case of work done under contract for the District of Columbia or a territory, to such District or to such territory), for liquidated damages. Such liquidated damages shall be computed with respect to each individual laborer or mechanic, including watchmen and guards, employed in violation of the clause set forth in paragraph (b)(1) of this section, in the sum of $27 for each calendar day on which such individual was required or permitted to work in excess of the standard workweek of forty hours without payment of the overtime wages required by the clause set forth in paragraph (b)(1) of this section. (3) Withholding for unpaid wages and liquidated damages.

Part 401 (Rights to Inventions Made by Nonprofit Organizations and Small Business Firms Under Government Grants, Contracts and Cooperative Agreements), and any implementing regulations issued by FEMA.

This requirement applies to “funding agreements,” but it DOES NOT apply to the Public Assistance, Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, Fire Management Assistance Grant Program, Crisis Counseling Assistance and Training Grant Program, Disaster Case Management Grant Program, and Federal Assistance to Individuals and Households – Other Needs Assistance Grant Program, as FEMA awards under these programs do not meet the definition of “funding agreement.”
c. Funding Agreements Definition. The regulation at 37 C.F.R. § 401.2(a) defines “funding agreement” as any contract, grant, or cooperative agreement entered into between any Federal agency, other than the Tennessee Valley Authority, and any contractor for the performance of experimental, developmental, or research work funded in whole or in part by the Federal government. This term also includes any assignment, substitution of parties, or subcontract of any type entered into for the performance of experimental, developmental, or research work under a funding agreement as defined in the first sentence of this paragraph.

Part 180 and the Department of Homeland Security’s regulations at 2 C.F.R. Part 3000 (Non-procurement Debarment and Suspension).
b. Applicability. This requirement applies to all FEMA grant and cooperative agreement programs.
c. Requirements.
i. These regulations restrict awards, subawards, and contracts with certain parties that are debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded from or ineligible for participation in Federal assistance programs and activities. See 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Appendix II(H); and 2 C.F.R. § 200.213. A contract award must not be made to parties listed in the SAM Exclusions. SAM Exclusions is the list maintained by the General Services Administration that contains the names of parties debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded by agencies, as well as parties declared ineligible under statutory or regulatory authority other than Executive Order 12549.
SAM exclusions can be accessed at www.sam.gov. See 2 C.F.R. §180.530. ii.

This includes parties that receive Federal funding indirectly, such Version June 28, 2023
2024056 Page 69 of 133
as contractors to recipients and subrecipients. The key to the exclusion is whether there is a “covered transaction,” which is any non-procurement transaction (unless excepted) at either a “primary” or “secondary” tier. Although “covered transactions” do not include contracts awarded by the Federal Government for purposes of the non-procurement common rule and DHS’s implementing regulations, it does include some contracts awarded by recipients and subrecipients.
iii. Specifically, a covered transaction includes the following contracts for goods or services:
1. The contract is awarded by a recipient or subrecipient in the amount of at least $25,000.
2. The contract requires the approval of FEMA, regardlessof amount.
3. The contract is for federally-required auditservices.
4. A subcontract is also a covered transaction if it is awarded by the contractor of a recipient or subrecipient and requires either the approval of FEMA or is in excess of$25,000.
d. Suggested Language. The following provides a debarment and suspension clause. It incorporates an optional method of verifying that contractors are not excluded or disqualified.
Suspension and Debarment
(1) This contract is a covered transaction for purposes of 2 C.F.R. pt. 180 and 2 C.F.R. pt. 3000. As such, the contractor is required to verify that none of the contractor’s principals (defined at 2 C.F.R. § 180.995) or its affiliates (defined at 2 C.F.R. § 180.905) are excluded (defined at 2 C.F.R. § 180.940) or disqualified (defined at 2 C.F.R. §180.935).
(2) The contractor must comply with 2 C.F.R. pt. 180, subpart C and2 C.F.R. pt. 3000, subpart C, and must include a requirement to comply with these regulations in any lower tier covered transaction it enters into.

If it is later determined that the contractor did not comply with 2 C.F.R. pt. 180, subpart C and 2 C.F.R. pt. 3000, subpart C, in addition to remedies available to the Participating Public Agency, the Federal Government may pursue available remedies, including but not limited to suspension and/or debarment. (4) The bidder or proposer agrees to comply with the requirements of 2 C.F.R. pt. 180, subpart C and 2 C.F.R. pt. 3000, subpart C while this offer is valid and throughout the period of any contract that may arise from this offer.

C. 271 POLITICAL CONTRIBUTION DISCLOSURE FORM
Public Agency Instructions
This page provides guidance to public agencies entering into contracts with business entities that are required to file Political Contribution Disclosure forms with the agency. It is not intended to be provided to contractors. What follows are instructions on the use of form local units can provide to contractors that are required to disclose political contributions pursuant to N.J.S.A. 19:44A-20.26 (P.L. 2005, c. 271, s.2). Additional information on the process is available in Local Finance Notice 2006-1 (http://www nj.gov/dca/divisions/dlgs/resources/lfns 2006 html). Please refer back to these instructions for the appropriate links, as the Local Finance Notices include links that are no longer operational.
1. The disclosure is required for all contracts in excess of $17,500 that are not awarded pursuant to a “fair and open” process (N.J.S.A. 19:44A-20.7).
2. Due to the potential length of some contractor submissions, the public agency should consider allowing data to be submitted in electronic form (i.e., spreadsheet, pdf file, etc.). Submissions must be kept with the contract documents or in an appropriate computer file and be available for public access. The form is worded to accept this alternate submission. The text should be amended if electronic submission will not be allowed.
3. The submission must be received from the contractor and on file at least 10 days prior to award of the contract. Resolutions of award should reflect that the disclosure has been received and is on file.
4. The contractor must disclose contributions made to candidate and party committees covering a wide range of public agencies, including all public agencies that have elected officials in the county of the public agency, state legislative positions, and various state entities. The Division of Local Government Services recommends that contractors be provided a list of the affected agencies. This will assist contractors in determining the campaign and political committees of the officials and candidates affected by the disclosure.
a. The Division has prepared model disclosure forms for each county. They can be downloaded from the “County PCD Forms” link on the Pay-to-Play web site at http://www nj.gov/dca/divisions/dlgs/programs/lpcl html#12. They will be updated from time-to-time as necessary.
b. A public agency using these forms should edit them to properly reflect the correct legislative district(s). As the forms are county-based, they list all legislative districts in each county. Districts that do not represent the public agency should be removed from the lists.
c. Some contractors may find it easier to provide a single list that covers all contributions, regardless of the county. These submissions are appropriate and should be accepted.
d. The form may be used “as-is”, subject to edits as described herein. e. The “Contractor Instructions” sheet is intended to be provided with the form. It is recommended that the Instructions and the form be printed on the same piece of paper. The form notes that the Instructions are printed on the back of the form; where that is not the case, the text should be edited accordingly. f. The form is a Word document and can be edited to meet local needs, and posted for download on web sites, used as an e-mail attachment, or provided as a printed document.
5. It is recommended that the contractor also complete a “Stockholder Disclosure Certification.” This will assist the local unit in its obligation to ensure that contractor did not make any prohibited contributions to the committees listed on the Business Entity Disclosure Certification in the 12 months prior to the contract (See Local Finance Notice 2006-7 for additional information on this obligation at http://www.nj.gov/dca/divisions/dlgs/resources/lfns 2006.html). A sample Certification form is part of this package and the instruction to complete it is included in the Contractor Instructions. NOTE: This section is not applicable to Boards of Education.

When the business entity is a natural person, “a contribution by that person’s spouse or child, residing therewith, shall be deemed to be a contribution by the business entity.” [N.J.S.A. 19:44A-20.26(b)] The contributor must be listed on the disclosure.
Any business entity that fails to comply with the disclosure provisions shall be subject to a fine imposed by ELEC in an amount to be determined by the Commission which may be based upon the amount that the business entity failed to report.
The enclosed list of agencies is provided to assist the contractor in identifying those public agencies whose elected official and/or candidate campaign committees are affected by the disclosure requirement. It is the contractor’s responsibility to identify the specific committees to which contributions may have been made and need to be disclosed.
The disclosed information may exceed the minimum requirement.
The enclosed form, a content-consistent facsimile, or an electronic data file containing the required details (along with a signed cover sheet) may be used as the contractor’s submission and is disclosable to the public under the Open Public Records Act.
The contractor must also complete the attached Stockholder Disclosure Certification. This will assist the agency in meeting its obligations under the law. NOTE: This section does not apply to Board of Education contracts. * N.J.S.A. 19:44A-3(s): “The term "legislative leadership committee" means a committee established, authorized to be established, or designated by the President of the Senate, the Minority Leader of the Senate, the Speaker of the General Assembly or the Minority Leader of the General Assembly pursuant to section 16 of P.L.1993, c.65 (C.19:44A10.1) for the purpose of receiving contributions and making expenditures.” Version June 28, 2023

configuration, testing, software copying, hardware and software installation, upgrades and/or maintenance, system integration, network integration, extended warranties, warranty service, staff augmentation and any other services and solutions available from Offeror. Specific requirements will be developed on a task order basis and may include, but is not limited to, services and solutions such as:
Virtualization: Transform data center with virtualization to consolidate servers, reduce energy consumption, increase IT capacity, add system flexibility and prepare for cloud computing.
IT organizations are challenged by the limitations of
today’s x86 servers, which are designed to run just one operating system and application at a time. As a result, even small data centers have to deploy many servers,
each operating at just 5 to 15 percent of capacity—
highly inefficient by any standard.
A key benefit of virtualization technology is the ability to contain and consolidate the number of servers in a
datacenter. This allows businesses to run multiple
application and OS workloads on the same server. Ten
server workloads running on a single physical server is typical, but some companies are consolidating as many
as 30 or 40 workloads onto one server. As you might
expect, dramatically reducing server count has a
transformational impact on IT energy consumption.
Utilization of x86 servers increases from the typical 8-15 percent to 70-80 percent. Reducing the number of
physical servers through virtualization cuts power and
cooling costs and provides more computing power in
less space. As a result, energy consumption typically
decreases by 80 percent.
Physical Security: Security solutions seaports, airports, water and wastewater, transportation, critical infrastructure, perimeter defense, physical and logical access control, identity
management, antiterrorism protection, automated alarms and alerts, integration with databases containing critical security information, cyber security and asset management, endpoint security and other network security and IT security.
Physical Security solutions combine video management,
access control, video analytics, intrusion alerts and more onto a single or consolidated platform of networks that can be accessed from anywhere and at any time
through a Web browser. Data from these subsystems is
automatically correlated, providing users with a
comprehensive view of security operations.
Communications: Communication solutions to converge voice, data and video communications onto a single, secure IP-based network.
The F5 BIG-IP family of products offers application
intelligence that network managers need to ensure
applications are fast, secure, and available. All BIG-IP products share a common underlying architecture, F5's
Traffic Management Operating System (TMOS), which
provides unified intelligence, flexibility, and
programmability. Together, BIG-IP's powerful platforms, advanced modules, and centralized management
system make up the most comprehensive set of
application delivery tools in the industry.
Cloud: Cloud solutions for scalable computing and storage capacity and rapid self- provisioning computing capabilities. This may include, but is not limited to, Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Cloud Software as a Service (SaaS) and Cloud Platform as a Service (PaaS).
With no minimum fee and a pay for what you use model,
Google Cloud Storage capacity pricing is the most cost
effective in the market. In addition, with lifecycle
management Google Cloud storage allows you to
reduce your costs even further by automatically
archiving your objects to Cloud Storage Nearline and
scheduled deletions. Store your data on Google's
infrastructure with very high level of durability and
availability. Google Cloud Storage stores and replicates your data allowing a high level of persistence. Google
Cloud Storage is built with a replicated storage strategy.

Google security model is an end-to-end process, built on over 15 years of experience.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure solutions such as data center management, network modernization and migration, desktop virtualization, risk and vulnerability management, and IT service management.
Datacenter Infrastructure is the backbone of delivering IT performance to the consumers of today’s
applications. Technology has shifted to become
increasingly software-driven which puts more pressure
on the infrastructure to deliver the level of performance the software is capable of or demands. Traditional
datacenter infrastructure is being challenged to meet the demands of this new approach.
New datacenter infrastructure technology embraces the
software driven approach and is designed to
accommodate large consumptions of data in a number
of forms. Arista Networks has lead the network
modernization shift by designing network switches with
high buffers and high speeds. They provide a flexible
solution to make the transition from a traditional
approach to a modern infrastructure more affordable, by not requiring forklift upgrades to the entire datacenter.
Network modernization is a key to delivering
applications like desktop virtualization and big data
analytics.
Data Management: Data management solution which uses
technologies such as thin provisioning, de-duplication and automated storage tiering to improve storage utilization.
Data is the raw material of business – an economic input almost on par with capital and labor. However, data in
most organizations is scattered across multiple
operational and analytical systems. Big data with new
sources, such as social media, cloud applications, and
syndicated data services are on the rise, and many
organizations are realizing that physical consolidation or replication of data is not practical for all data integration and business agility needs. Data needs to be made
easily consumable by people who need it to advance the
business.
Data Virtualization is a lean data integration solution that provides easy, real-time, and unified data access across disparate sources to multiple applications and users.
Data Virtualization makes data spread across physically distinct systems – such as multiple databases, XML
files, and even Hadoop systems – appear as a set of
tables in a local database. This comprehensive platform enables agile data provisioning by providing the
following functions:
• Connect: Access data from multiple
heterogeneous data sources with different
access methods and storage models.
• Compose: Easily create reusable, businessfriendly data models and virtual unified views by combining and transforming data from
multiple sources.
• Consume: Make integrated data available on
demand for consumption by external apps
through open standards interfaces.
Visual Communications: Visual communications that integrate Now more than ever, people need the ability to carahsoft® carahsoft®
Solicitation Number: 23-6692
6 Cobb County Requirements Carahsoft Capabilities
audio, video, voice and presentation capabilities. collaborate effectively with colleagues, partners, and customers—around the world, across devices, and
through technical boundaries. More and more
organizations, including large enterprises and
government agencies, are using Visual Communication
to drive end-to-end, business-critical workflows for web meetings, eLearning, and webinars. The right Visual
Communication solution delivers exceptionally rich
interactions and enables organizations to fundamentally improve productivity.
You can captivate your audience with rich, engaging,
and interactive experiences and make them available to
virtually anyone, anywhere, on virtually any device, with just a click of a button.
Certain Visual Communication Technologies allow
invitees to easily attend a meetings from the desktop
without requiring a client download, and offers complete mobile-to-mobile collaboration capabilities to address
the realities of today’s business environments, where
employees and customers are on the move worldwide.
UCC (Unified Communications and Collaboration): UCC video teleconferencing solutions that provide for critical infrastructure, emergency operations centers, command rooms, fusion centers, training rooms, and classrooms.
When disasters happen, first responders and
emergency personnel are not always in the same place.
Unified Communications and Collaboration allows you to
set up a virtual command center that can be pre-loaded
with maps, actions plans and emergency contact
information. This allows first responders and decision
makers to work together more quickly and effectively. In 2010 the US Southern Command used UCC
technologies to support the Haiti earthquake disaster
relief teams, and the Montana National Guard used it to coordinate efforts in fighting the wildfires in the summer of 2015.
UCC technologies for distributed team collaboration
efforts help government organizations accelerate team
decision-making regardless of where people are located
by equipping them with a powerful and easy-to-use set
of tools for web conferencing and information sharing.
Leverage existing investments in video conferencing
solutions by integrating your video telephony devices
supporting SIP/H.264. Nontechnical users can share
everything from text and graphics files to multimedia
presentations and websites; collect comments from
multiple reviewers; and host live, interactive discussions online without additional downloads.
Broadcast Studio: Broadcast studio solutions for staff that oversee communications and public broadcast efforts which provide integration (system design engineering), fabrication, budgeting, scheduling, engineering, architectural planning (technical grounding, power distribution and facility load requirements), and equipment specification (video, audio, network and storage technologies).
Public sector communication is undergoing an incredible transformation. Government organizations that adopt
innovative technologies can capitalize on this
transformation to create mission value and cost savings opportunities.

The following options are available when responding to a solicitation for Products covered under the Master Agreement.
Respond with Master Agreement pricing (Contract Sales reported to OMNIA Partners). If competitive conditions require pricing lower than the standard Master Agreement not-to-exceed pricing, Supplier may respond with lower pricing through the Master Agreement. If Supplier is awarded the contract, the sales are reported as Contract Sales to OMNIA Partners under the Master Agreement.
Respond with pricing higher than Master Agreement only in the unlikely event that the Public Agency refuses to utilize Master Agreement (Contract Sales are not reported to OMNIA Partners). If alternative or multiple proposals are permitted, respond with pricing higher than Master Agreement, and include Master Agreement as the alternate or additional proposal.
Detail Supplier’s strategies under these options when responding to a solicitation.
Carahsoft will work with our Government customers to ensure we provide the best possible pricing for each individual deal and contract to ensure we are meeting and exceeding their needs. carahsoft® carahsoft®
