Commvault CommServe Servers

The 42d Contracting Squadron at Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama, is conducting market research to identify vendors capable of providing a turnkey solution for replacing end-of-life Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) Commvault CommServe and Media Agent Servers. The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command seeks qualified sources that can deliver HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen12 servers or equivalent products with full compatibility to the existing HPE Storage Area Network and core server infrastructure. The requirement encompasses not only server hardware delivery but also comprehensive migration services, installation, configuration, testing, and training. Interested vendors must submit responses by 12:00 p.m. Central Daylight Time on May 5, 2026, to 1st Lt John Putnam or Mr. Jeremy Kersey via email, including company information, CAGE Code, UEI, business classification under NAICS 541519, and detailed capability statements demonstrating capacity to meet requirements with HPE brand equipment or providing alternative solutions with proven 100 percent seamless integration. This is a pre-solicitation notice for market research purposes only, and no contract award will be made based on responses submitted; however, information gathered will be used to finalize the acquisition strategy.

The procurement carries no small business set-aside designation. The requirement specifies procurement of five HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen12 8SFF Configure-to-Order servers featuring Intel Xeon 6507P CPUs, 32GB DDR5 memory, 600GB SAS hard drives, dual 1000W power supplies, 10Gb Ethernet adapters, and three years of licensing and sustainment support with 24x7 telephone support and next-business-day onsite maintenance. The contractor must perform comprehensive migration services including data transfer from existing servers, project planning, configuration testing, as-built documentation, knowledge transfer, and basic training on administration and troubleshooting. All equipment must be new and not refurbished or reconditioned, with contractor personnel required to obtain base access credentials and comply with security requirements including REAL ID-compliant identification and restricted area procedures. The specific contract value or award amount has not been disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice.
