Nutanix SW & HW support renewal - 1087582 FY27 - ciob

The State of California, through the California Integrated Operations Board (CIOB), is requesting bids for renewal of Nutanix software and hardware support services under contract 1087582 for fiscal year 2027, with bids due July 2, 2026.

A Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) certification is required as part of the bid submission. The CBE Form establishes the framework for documenting minority-owned, women-owned, disabled veteran-owned, or other disadvantaged business classifications relevant to contract award and compliance with California's business diversity requirements.

The scope covers renewal of existing Nutanix software and hardware support services, maintenance, and licensing for the state's infrastructure environment. Service level agreements, response time requirements, and support parameters are defined in Appendix A. This is a renewal of existing services rather than new implementation, maintaining continuity of critical infrastructure support throughout FY27.

Bidders must submit a certificate of insurance as a mandatory requirement demonstrating adequate coverage for the contract performance period. The certificate must name California and CIOB as additional insureds where applicable and evidence continuous coverage throughout the contract term.
