Pure storage gold subscription renewals

The City of Glendale is conducting a Request for Quotation (RFQ #404144) for Pure Storage Gold Subscription Renewals, seeking 12-month Evergreen Gold Subscriptions for four specific Pure Storage hardware configurations located at different data center sites: SDC-PURE-01, PDC-PURE-01, GPD-PURE-00, and GPD-PURE-01. The procurement requires new equipment from authorized US manufacturer re-sellers, with strict specifications including 4-hour delivery, 24/7 support, and Data Services Enablement (DSE) capabilities. Vendors must submit quotes electronically through the PlanetBids system by Monday, September 15, 2025, at 11:00 AM, with submissions sealed in an envelope addressed to the Glendale Purchasing Department if using physical documentation. The contract term will span from October 13, 2025, to October 12, 2026, with quotes required to remain valid for 90 days. Evaluation criteria include complete compliance with specifications, with explicit requirements that no used, remanufactured, or refurbished equipment will be accepted, and no substitutions or equivalent products are permitted.

The solicitation does not explicitly indicate any set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The RFQ applies a 10.25% tax rate and specifies payment terms as Net 30 or better, with FOB delivery to Glendale, California. While specific budget ranges are not disclosed, the procurement involves multiple high-performance storage asset subscriptions, suggesting a potentially significant investment. Vendors must provide unit pricing for each of the four line items, demonstrating a detailed, line-item based evaluation approach. The City reserves the right to accept or reject quotations on individual items or as a whole, maintaining flexibility in the procurement process. No incumbent vendor information is provided in the documentation, and the solicitation does not specify integration requirements beyond the technical specifications for the Pure Storage subscriptions.
