This document is Appendix A (Revision 6-6-2024) supporting a Red Hat renewal contract opportunity (O261510, 556-27002) for the State of California's Software and Services Information Resource Management (SNSIRM) program. The appendix outlines the technical and licensing requirements for Red Hat Enterprise Linux software products and services. The procurement seeks to establish pricing and terms for Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscriptions, including various product editions and support service levels. The contract encompasses multiple product tiers ranging from standard to premium support options, with detailed specifications for licensing models, subscription terms, and software maintenance coverage. The document establishes the framework for calculating pricing based on subscription duration, number of systems, and selected support tiers, with contract terms structured to align with Red Hat's standard renewal cycles and California's procurement regulations.

The appendix specifies that pricing shall be based on Red Hat's standard commercial pricing schedules adjusted for volume licensing and state procurement discounts. The document details subscription renewal provisions, support service level agreements, and technical assistance components included with each licensing tier. The pricing structure accommodates multi-year commitments with renewal options, allowing the state to lock in pricing for extended periods. Incumbent vendor considerations and pricing continuity are addressed to ensure transparent cost structures and budget planning. The document serves as the technical specification and pricing framework reference for evaluating Red Hat renewal proposals and establishing master service terms under the SNSIRM program for California state agencies.
