This is a Request for Bids (RFB) document issued by the State of California for the renewal of Infoblox software licenses. The procurement seeks to continue the existing software agreement for Infoblox products on a brand-only basis, indicating that only Infoblox-branded solutions are acceptable and no alternative vendors will be considered. The RFB specifies the quantities and configurations of Infoblox software required to support the state's ongoing IT infrastructure needs. While specific response deadlines and bid submission dates are referenced in the document, the procurement follows standard state procurement procedures with designated timeframes for bidders to submit their proposals. The contract will be awarded to a qualified vendor capable of providing the specified Infoblox software solutions, with the agreement term structured as a renewal of the existing contract to ensure continuity of service for the state's network and security infrastructure.

The pricing terms for this renewal procurement are based on Infoblox's standard commercial licensing rates for the specified software products and quantities. As this is a brand-only renewal, the incumbent vendor is Infoblox, the current provider of these software solutions to the State of California. No alternative vendors or substitutions will be considered, which streamlines the procurement process while ensuring consistency with existing system configurations and support arrangements. The funding for this software renewal is provided through the state's IT operations budget, with costs allocated according to the specific licensing requirements and configuration needs outlined in the RFB. This renewal procurement maintains the state's existing technology environment and ensures uninterrupted access to critical Infoblox software capabilities for network management and security operations.
