DMH - HCL Domino Renewal

The State of Ohio's Department of Behavioral Health is seeking proposals for the renewal of HCL Domino software licenses, specifically targeting 175 Domino Complete Collaboration licenses with a one-month term. This procurement opportunity covers a two-year licensing period from January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2027, with the solicitation open to authorized dealers. The specific license part number is D1VC7LL, which includes both the license and associated support and subscription services. Interested vendors must submit their proposals by December 12, 2025, following the guidelines established by the state procurement process. The contract appears to be focused on providing collaborative software solutions for the department's technological infrastructure, with an emphasis on maintaining current software capabilities and ensuring continuous access to necessary collaboration tools.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided information, standard state procurement practices often include provisions for minority-owned, women-owned, or disadvantaged business enterprises. The total contract value is not specified, but it represents a renewal of existing software licensing for 175 user licenses, suggesting a potentially significant but contained technology investment. The procurement is specifically targeted at authorized HCL Domino dealers, which implies a restricted vendor pool with specialized technical qualifications. Given the nature of the contract—a software license renewal for a behavioral health department—potential respondents would likely need demonstrated experience in government software licensing, enterprise collaboration platforms, and specific familiarity with HCL Domino technologies. The one-month term licensing structure within a two-year contract suggests potential flexibility for the state to adjust licensing needs during the contract period.
