HVAC Maintenance

The State of Idaho, specifically the Idaho Technology Services (ITS) division in Canyon County, is seeking a procurement for Datacenter Infrastructure Management (DCIM) and Data Center Tracking Software Subscription. The solicitation requests quotes for PowerIQ DCIM and dcTrack software or an equivalent solution to manage datacenter environments, remote/agency equipment, and monitor physical infrastructure and environmental variables. The software must support 45 racks and 200 devices, with a one-year subscription and options for installation, migration, and training. Bidders are required to provide fully burdened pricing for annual software subscriptions, including delivery, software, and training costs. The Request for Quotation (RFQ) specifies a detailed implementation timeline of 60 days post-contract award, with an initial one-year term and four optional one-year renewals. Evaluation will be based on the lowest fully burdened total cost, with pricing to remain firm for the first six months and potential adjustments up to two times per year with supporting documentation. The proposal response deadline is January 30, 2024, with implementation expected shortly thereafter.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were identified in the procurement documents. The solicitation appears to be open to all qualified vendors capable of meeting the technical and functional requirements for the DCIM software solution. No incumbent vendor information was explicitly stated in the available documentation. The agency will fund the purchase through its existing operating budget, with the total contract value not definitively specified. However, the bid schedule indicates pricing options for up to five years of software subscription, suggesting potential contract value could range between $50,000 and $250,000 depending on the specific pricing and number of devices supported. Vendors must be prepared to provide comprehensive software solutions that can effectively track and manage datacenter infrastructure, with a focus on flexibility, comprehensive monitoring capabilities, and competitive pricing.
