The U.S. Army has selected Dell to provide hardware, software and services for its Information Technology Enterprise Solutions (ITES) procurement contract.
Dell was one of four vendors awarded the contract. The maximum value for each individual contract is $500 million, which represents the combined maximum value for the contract, known as ITES Functional Area-1 for Enterprise Hardware Solutions. The Army will award ITES Functional Area-2 for Enterprise Mission Support Services Solutions at a later date.
Through the ITES contract, organizations across the Army can purchase commercial servers, workstations, desktops, notebooks, storage systems, networking equipment, operating systems and commercial software applications, peripherals, and related services. These services can include installation, equipment maintenance, site surveys, system configuration and integration, image loading, data migration and asset tracking.
"Our goal is to provide the Army with the reliable, secure and robust systems they need with an eye toward cost savings, speed of deployment and first-rate service and support," said Tom Buchsbaum, vice president of Federal Systems at Dell.
