Hitachi VSP Hardware

NASA's Shared Services Center is procuring Hitachi VSP Hardware specifically for the Cloud and Computer Service Line at Johnson Space Center to maintain the NaTS Imagery System storage infrastructure. The procurement includes one VSP One B24 Node, two VSP One B20 IO Modules with 32G FC, eight VSP One B20 SFP transceivers, nine VSP One B24 NVMe SSDs, and a VSP One File 34 Base System, along with professional services including onsite installation, data migration services, and software support. This is a brand name requirement limiting submissions to authorized Hitachi resellers only, as alternative vendors cannot meet NASA's specific compatibility and operational continuity requirements. The contract will be awarded using a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) evaluation method. Vendors must submit quotes by August 25, 2025, at 8:00 a.m. CT, and all technical questions must be submitted in writing by August 22, 2025.

This procurement is set aside for total small businesses under NAICS code 513210 (Software Publishers) and PSC code 7B20. The contract includes a 30-day period of performance after receipt of order, with work to be performed at NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. Key quantities include 540 DRO units (1.9TB NVMe), 60 premium service months for VSP One Block 24, and 2,400 monthly software support licenses for VSP One File 34. The scope encompasses migrating up to 4 file systems from legacy HNAS to VSP One File via object replication. While no specific contract value is disclosed, the procurement represents a critical infrastructure upgrade necessitated by the need to replace existing G400 systems while maintaining operational continuity and avoiding significant additional costs associated with alternative solutions.
