As part of the IT Schedule 70 Federal Information Technology Acquisition Reform Act (FITARA) Enhancement Program, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) has negotiated a new, governmentwide enterprise acquisition agreement with Dell EMC for virtual computing environment (VCE) solutions. This agreement will provide agencies with access to Dell solutions that reflect additional discounts based on the buying power of the entire federal government.

The IT Schedule 70 FITARA Enhancement Program will provide government agencies with greater flexibility in accessing the innovative data center modernization solutions they need at a better value to taxpayers, said GSA Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) Commissioner Alan Thomas. Providing these solutions through a governmentwide, enterprise-level agreement is a great way to reduce duplication in our procurement process.

The offering is a significant step forward in supporting GSAs goals under category management and it will help federal agencies protect high-value assets, while also supporting data center optimization and modernization, said GSAs Office of Information Technology Category Acting Assistant Commissioner, Bill Zielinski. Streamlined Best-in-Class offerings like this from GSA will make it easier and more cost-effective for government agencies to get the solutions they need to meet their missions.

The new agreement provides government buyers with negotiated pricing and easy access to Dell EMC capabilities that address the many aspects of the Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative (FDCCI) and FITARA through virtual computing solutions. Additionally, the new agreement will provide agencies with price consistency and allow for more efficient budgeting throughout the program lifecycle.

The newly negotiated Dell EMC deal provides: Virtual computing solutions via Dell EMCs VxRail products to enable data center modernization. Multiple VxRail model options ranging from entry level to performance intensive. mTiered discounts based on leveraging the buying power of the federal government. Reduced contract duplication and administrative costs with streamlined terms & conditions. This new agreement is available to all federal, state, local, and tribal government agencies eligible to order from the GSA IT Schedule 70 program through Carahsoft Technology Corporations contract - GS-35F-0119Y.
