About this file
This document is a State Procurement Office (SPO) Form 101 - Competition Impracticable (CI) Procurement Authorization for the Arizona Department of Administration (ADOA), specifically the State Procurement Office. The document involves multiple cloud computing service providers including Carahsoft Technology Corp, Kyndryl Inc., SHI International Corp, Cherry Road Technologies Inc., Hewlett-Packard Enterprise Co., AT&T Corp, and B2GNow.
The document seeks to modify and extend the Cloud Computing Contracts (CLOUD) vehicle, which serves as Arizona's primary procurement method for cloud storage, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS), and related software services. The modification request is to extend the current contract until December 30, 2023, with an estimated cost of $216,000. The extension is necessitated by staffing changes in the State Procurement Office, allowing continuity of service while the new contract owner reviews, negotiates, and establishes new participating addendums. The procurement is justified under the rationale of requiring "open and continuous availability of offerors" and aims to transition to a newer procurement agreement template with improved terms and conditions for the State of Arizona.
