This is an Addendum 1 Questions and Answers document for RFP 26-31 regarding a Cohesity Data Management and Security Platform procurement, generated on February 19, 2026. The solicitation involves multiple vendors including Kopesky Enterprises, Think Development Systems, and Cohesity. The project encompasses a hybrid deployment model combining on-premises and cloud infrastructure with Cohesity HYB-DATACOUD-CORE licenses (80 units), professional services including PS-JUMPSTART-SM and PS-FORTKNOX for recovery vault implementation, connectivity infrastructure (CBL-10G/25G/40G/100G-LC-005-INFO), and SaaS capabilities for Microsoft 365 backup (SAAS-M365-CORE-50G-AZURE). The contract term is three years with premium support required. Implementation is expected to be completed by June 2026, and the solution must include role-based access control (RBAC) capabilities.

Support and maintenance costs are calculated at 18-22% of license value and should be included in vendor proposals. Public sector discounted pricing should be applied where available. The duplicate line item for Cohesity PS-JUMPSTART-SM has been corrected in the procurement documents. The organization has confirmed that no analytics and reporting tools beyond standard offerings are required, no legacy data migration is needed, and no additional implementation, training, onboarding, or cloud storage and retrieval costs should be separately bid. The bandwidth infrastructure has been pre-scaled with Cohesity to accommodate the three-year contract term without anticipated expansion, and the Microsoft 365 consumption has been sized at 50GB based on deployment analysis.
