The solicitation seeks comprehensive maintenance and support services for HPE computing infrastructure across three MDOT operational divisions: OTTS, SHA, and MAA. The scope includes support for specific HPE equipment items such as Synergy servers, interconnect modules, and storage systems, each identified by unique serial numbers and part numbers. The contract term is scheduled to run from April 10, 2026 through April 10, 2027. Bidders who submitted proposals in Round 1 are required to resubmit their bids under the revised bid sheet specifications for Round 2.

Responding vendors must submit detailed bid sheets with unit costs and total costs for each enumerated HPE asset, provide a comprehensive prime contractor list identifying all subcontractors, and complete a Hardware Mercury Affidavit as a compliance attestation. The solicitation maintains the incumbent vendor relationship and represents a continuation of existing service levels and pricing terms from prior fiscal years. Specific pricing information and funding allocation amounts are not disclosed in the procurement documents. Funding is provided through MDOT's operational budget allocated for information technology infrastructure maintenance and support services. The amendment was issued on March 4th, 2026 by Samuel Murrill, Procurement Administrator.
