Nutanix Renewal

Granite School District's Information Systems department issued an Invitation for Bids (IFB) for a Nutanix software renewal contract, posted on May 19, 2026, with a bid due date of May 26, 2026. The procurement seeks to establish a contract for Nutanix software and support services for the fiscal year period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Only authorized Nutanix partners and resellers are eligible to submit bids for this procurement. The District anticipates awarding the contract to a single vendor representing the lowest cost responsive and responsible bidder. Key contractual requirements include compliance with all applicable federal and Utah state laws, E-Verify certification for employees in Utah, and Federal Criminal Background Checks if contractors have unsupervised access to students. Contractors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence/$3,000,000 aggregate), and cyber security coverage ($5,000,000 aggregate). The contract terms establish strict data protection and security requirements, including mandatory encryption of district data using no less than 128-bit keys, storage of all data in United States data centers, and notification of security incidents or data breaches within seventy-two hours of confirmation. The District reserves the right to audit contractor compliance and terminate contracts for cause with fourteen calendar days' notice or without cause with sixty calendar days' notice.

The procurement is restricted to authorized Nutanix partners and resellers, which effectively limits the field of eligible respondents to vendors maintaining active reseller relationships with Nutanix. No specific set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises or other special designations are identified in the procurement documents. The incumbent vendor information and current system environment details are contained within the bid specifications and supporting documents not fully detailed in the primary procurement summary. Specific budget ranges or award values are not explicitly stated in the available procurement documentation; however, pricing terms and funding requirements are referenced as being available in the associated bid table and specifications. All contract provisions must comply with Utah Code Section 63G-6a-1203, which voids certain categories of contract clauses including those restricting governmental immunity, requiring indemnification of other parties, mandating binding arbitration, prohibiting selection of preferred legal counsel, imposing non-Utah jurisdiction or venue requirements, restricting information disclosure, allowing unilateral vendor modifications, or requiring insurance coverage beyond state risk manager requirements.
