RFI Line item worksheet-1b w COO_updated.xlsx

This is a Request for Information (RFI) line item worksheet for VISN 5's Nutanix infrastructure refresh and upgrade initiative. The RFI (36C24526Q0422) seeks market research information from vendors regarding Nutanix hardware solutions and related support services across multiple Veterans Affairs facilities. The solicitation encompasses two primary categories: backup infrastructure upgrades and server infrastructure upgrades deployed across seven geographic locations including Baltimore, Martinsburg, Washington DC, Beckley, Clarksburg, and Huntington.

The backup infrastructure component requires 9 Nutanix NX-8150 G10 nodes (3 units per location across Baltimore, Martinsburg, and Washington DC) with corresponding hardware support services totaling 9 job bids (JB). The server infrastructure component specifies 8 Nutanix nodes across multiple models—including NX-3460S G10 (6 units), NX-3260S G10 (1 unit), and NX-3160S G10 (1 unit)—deployed across all seven facilities, with hardware support requirements totaling 21 job bids. All hardware specifications include federal-grade support packages (S-HW-FED-PRD) with trusted platform modules and NVMe storage options. The worksheet requests vendors to provide unit pricing, total pricing, delivery terms, estimated delivery timelines, country of origin, manufacturer information, and OEM details to facilitate government market research on available solutions and alternative capacities.
