BL071-23 Ad1

This is Addendum 1 to solicitation BL071-23 issued by Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia for the provision of Nutanix hardware, software, support, and maintenance on an annual contract with four renewal options. The addendum, dated May 5, 2023, modifies supplier qualification requirements and support service terms while clarifying the scope of deliverables. Key revisions include changes to the required Nutanix reseller competency rating from Gold or Platinum to Professional or Champion, and modification of hardware support specifications to reference support terms and conditions rather than specifying exact response times independently. The solicitation clarifies that only hardware and support are included in the bid, with racks excluded, and that the county will handle all installation services. Formal bid submissions were required by 2:50 p.m. on the specified due date, with Gwinnett County BOC not accepting electronic submittals at that time.

The addendum does not provide specific pricing information, quantities, or funding amounts in its content. Bidders were required to acknowledge receipt of the addendum on page 4 of the bid document. Firms on the Gwinnett County ineligible source list were prohibited from submitting offers, and suppliers must maintain current authorized Nutanix reseller status with the specified competency rating to be eligible. The contract structure includes 24/7 hardware support as a mandatory component of all pricing submissions.
