PORFP: Nutanix

The Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) of Maryland is seeking proposals through a Purchase Order Request for Proposals (PORFP) for Nutanix products under the State's Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) 2012 Master Contract. This procurement opportunity is specifically targeted at procuring Nutanix technology solutions for the state agency. The PORFP will be distributed exclusively via email to eligible Master Contractors who are approved to resell Nutanix products and have been pre-qualified in the appropriate Functional Area(s). Potential vendors must demonstrate specific technical capabilities and alignment with the COTS Master Contract requirements. The solicitation was posted on August 15, 2025, with proposals due by August 29, 2025, providing a two-week window for interested and qualified contractors to prepare and submit their responses. Only contractors holding a current COTS Master Contract in the applicable product category will be permitted to participate in this procurement process.

This procurement opportunity is specifically designated as a Small Business Reserve (SBR) contract, which means only small businesses meeting Maryland's defined criteria can compete for the award. Vendors must be pre-approved Nutanix resellers with demonstrable expertise in the specific technology solutions required by the MVA. The contract is structured to ensure that only technically qualified and pre-vetted contractors can submit proposals, effectively limiting competition to a select group of small businesses with proven capabilities in Nutanix product implementation. While specific budget ranges are not disclosed in the provided documentation, the use of a Master Contract suggests a structured pricing and procurement approach. The procurement methodology emphasizes a controlled, targeted selection process that prioritizes small business participation and ensures technical competence in delivering Nutanix technology solutions to the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration.
