About this opportunity

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Criminal Investigation (CI) Division has issued a Limited Sources Justification Notice for Nutanix software licenses and hardware maintenance supporting their Electronic-Crimes Computing Environment (ECE). The contract, awarded under contract 47QTCA-19-D-00CB, covers Nutanix Unified Storage Pro Software, Cloud Manager Starter Software, Cloud Infrastructure Ultimate Software, and hardware support renewals for existing HPE equipment. The justification is based on the successful prior two-year Nutanix pilot program and the specific requirement that alternative software brands cannot support the current HPE hardware infrastructure. Market research identified multiple small business resellers through GSA Advantage and GSA MAS 8F contracts, with previous related contracts awarded to vendors like Anacapa Micro Products, Inc. and FCN Technology Solutions. The contract spans a base year from 11/30/2024 to 11/29/2025 with three additional one-year options, potentially extending through 11/29/2028. The most recent related contract in September 2023 was valued at $23.1M for a 90+ node cluster, suggesting a significant potential value for this procurement.
