About this opportunity
The Illinois Secretary of State (ILSOS) is executing an emergency purchase contract with IBM for two Storage Area Networks (SANs) to support mainframe replication, with a due date of August 19, 2026. This procurement is a sole-source emergency purchase that bypasses standard competitive bidding procedures.
The emergency purchase statement indicates that the SANs are essential infrastructure components required to maintain operational continuity of ILSOS mainframe systems and support disaster recovery and business continuity objectives. IBM is identified as the sole vendor capable of providing compatible SAN equipment for the existing mainframe environment.
The procurement is justified on the grounds that continued availability and reliability of the mainframe systems is critical to residents, businesses, and partner agencies relying on ILSOS services, and that immediate acquisition is necessary to prevent service disruption.
Pricing is determined through IBM's standard enterprise pricing structure for state government purchases. The specific contract value and final pricing terms are not disclosed in the posting.
