FY25 - SolarWinds -Dameware

The state of Ohio is seeking a renewal contract for SolarWinds Dameware software, with a procurement opportunity identified by the unique contract ID 67d99c2e3bb35e1cc403ae36. The contract will cover a one-year term from June 10, 2025, to June 9, 2026, representing a software license and maintenance renewal for the state's information technology infrastructure. The procurement is specifically for renewing existing software, which suggests this is a direct renewal rather than a competitive bid process. The posted date is March 18, 2025, with proposals due by March 25, 2025, indicating a relatively compressed submission window of approximately one week. The primary objective appears to be maintaining continuity of the SolarWinds Dameware remote support and management tool, which is likely critical for the state's IT operations and network management capabilities.

While specific details about set-aside designations are not provided in the current documentation, the contract appears to be a standard state procurement focused on software licensing. The renewal suggests that the current vendor, SolarWinds, is likely to be the continued provider of the Dameware software. No specific budget range or award value is indicated in the provided information, though enterprise software renewals typically represent a significant but predictable annual technology expense for state governments. The contract seems intended for direct use by Ohio state agencies and does not appear to have explicit restrictions on vendor qualifications beyond the existing relationship with SolarWinds. The procurement represents a standard technology infrastructure maintenance effort, designed to ensure continued access to remote support and management tools for the state's IT environment.
