Ema-Data Cartriges-JS

This state contract opportunity, posted by the state of Illinois, is for the procurement of 80 data cartridges for the HP StoreEver backup system. The Central Management Services division is seeking to replace the existing tapes used for monthly backups as well as to store the annual backup set, which has been growing in size. This is a regular, recurring procurement to maintain the existing tape backup system, and the business need is to ensure the proper backup of data. The economic justification is that this is a standard, expected expense with no anticipated changes to the procurement approach or pricing structure. There are no additional expenditures required beyond the cost of the data cartridges themselves.

The contract opportunity does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The current incumbent or contractor is not identified. The total award value or budget range is also not provided. This procurement is a continuation of the existing tape backup system, and there is no indication that any new infrastructure or technology integration is required.
