The notice indicates this is a name brand procurement that will be executed through the Computer Hardware Enterprise Software Solutions CHESS ITES-3H contract vehicle.
The purpose of this procurement is to secure comprehensive maintenance services for five ExaGrid hardware units, including models EX-84, EX-136, EX-36, and EX-27, with an estimated contract value of $110,390.64 using fiscal year 2025 operations and maintenance funds.

Market research confirmed that only ExaGrid certified vendors can effectively maintain these specialized data backup systems, which feature tiered backup approaches with immutable data storage capabilities, justifying the sole source approach for this maintenance requirement.
