RFQ2024-07 Virtual LoadMaster 500 Licenses

The Superior Court of California, County of Kern is seeking quotes for the purchase of Virtual LoadMaster 500 software licenses and KEMP Enterprise Plus technical support subscriptions. The Court is requesting quotes for 4 of each item, with options for 1-year, 3-year, and perpetual license terms. The requested goods and services are intended to provide the Court with the necessary IT infrastructure and support. Quotes are due by 3:00 PM on September 24, 2024, and the Court will award the contract to the vendor providing the overall best value, which may be for the 1-year, 3-year, or perpetual options, not all three. The Court participates in cooperative purchasing agreements and requests the vendor provide the best available pricing.

The procurement process outlined in the Request for Quote (RFQ) includes provisions for the Court to cancel or reject quotes, a 90-day offer period, payment and delivery terms, and vendor certification requirements. The RFQ also details the Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) program and incentive, which is optional but could provide a 3% price reduction for the lowest responsive quote. Vendors must submit a California seller's permit and completed Payee Data Record form if awarded the contract.
