Cloud at customer infrastructure/hardware renewal

The State of New Hampshire Division of Procurement and Support Services is seeking bids for a Cloud at Customer Infrastructure/Hardware Renewal contract covering Merrimack County and Concord City. The procurement specifically targets 24 monthly units of Gen 2 Exadata Cloud at Customer Infrastructure - X8M - Quarter Rack Nonmetered Hardware. The bid invitation, identified as Bid #132-24, requires vendors to provide comprehensive pricing that includes all products and delivery costs. Bids are due on January 19, 2024, at 10:30 AM EST, with the contract to be awarded to the responsible vendor submitting the lowest conforming bid. Successful vendors must complete delivery within 30 days of receiving the purchase order and provide a one-year warranty on the equipment. The State reserves the right to reject any or all bids and potentially add or delete items/locations from the contract. Payment for the awarded contract will be processed via ACH or Procurement Card, with the final award taking the form of a State of New Hampshire Purchase Order.

However, on June 28, 2024, an addendum was issued indicating that the entire bid has been cancelled. No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations were explicitly outlined in the available documentation. The procurement does not provide details about incumbent vendors, existing infrastructure requirements, or specific budget ranges. The original bid was structured to establish a contract for infrastructure hardware renewal, but the cancellation means potential vendors should monitor the State of New Hampshire's purchasing website for future updates or reissuance of the procurement opportunity. While the initial bid sought a comprehensive hardware renewal solution, the cancellation suggests potential modifications or re-evaluation of the procurement requirements may be forthcoming.
