About this file
This is a Vendor Questionnaire for Storage Architecture Capabilities associated with a Notice of Intent to Designate Sole Brand for Pure Storage Data Storage Solution issued by a Florida county government. The questionnaire serves as a Request for Information (RFI) to determine whether the specified data storage commodity is available from multiple providers or if alternate solutions exist that would meet the county's requirements. The document does not constitute a request for pricing or a purchase commitment. Vendors are instructed to provide detailed responses regarding their storage solutions, including relevant specifications and supporting documentation through the BPRO Requested Information section.
The questionnaire evaluates eight key capability areas: storage architecture design (proprietary versus third-party components), drive type offerings (spinning hard drives, SSDs, or Direct Flash Modules), U.S. manufacturing origin, advanced feature support (multiple storage protocols, AI workloads, high-speed data retrieval, data reduction, and resilient protection), immutable storage snapshot technology, Technical Account Manager inclusion, hardware refresh subscription models, and pricing stability guarantees with no annual increases. The questionnaire does not specify pricing terms, contract duration, renewal options, funding amounts, or award dates, as this is preliminary information gathering to establish vendor availability and product capabilities for potential future procurement.

Vendor Name: ______________________________________________________________
Vendor Instructions:
Provide responses to the questions below through the BPRO Requested Information section. Include any relevant specifications and/or supporting documentation related to the product you are offering.
1. Storage Architecture Does your solution utilize proprietary storage architecture, or does it rely on third-party traditional hard drives, controllers, and components combined with a fully integrated, software-defined flash storage solution? If yes, provide supporting information. ☐ Yes ☐ No
2. Drive Types Does your current product line include spinning hard drives (15,000 RPM), Solid State Drives (SSD), or Direct Flash Modules?
☐ Spinning hard drives (15,000 RPM) ☐ Solic State Drives (SSD) ☐ Direct Flash Modules
3. Manufacturing Origin Is your product designed, manufactured, and assembled in the United States? ☐ Yes ☐ No
4. Future-Ready Capabilities Does your solution support the following advanced features:
☐ Simultaneous use of multiple storage protocols on the same device
☐ Artificial intelligence workloads
☐ High-speed data retrieval
☐ Data reduction technology
☐ Resilient data protection
5. Immutable Storage Does your solution support immutable storage snapshot technology? ☐ Yes ☐ No
6. Technical Account Manager (TAM) Does your solution include a Technical Account Manager (TAM) as part of the purchase? ☐ Yes ☐ No
7. Maintenance Subscription Model – Hardware Refresh Does your solution offer a maintenance subscription model that enables uninterrupted, in-place hardware modernization on a predetermined schedule (e.g., every 36 months), eliminating the need for replacement upon reaching $0 residual value? ☐ Yes ☐ No
8. Maintenance Subscription Model – Pricing Stability Does your solution offer a maintenance subscription model with no annual price increases, ensuring that the price per terabyte (TB) of storage remains consistent from the initial purchase throughout the life of the system?
☐ Yes ☐ No
