Services for the z-Series, I-Series, and P-Series

The State of Missouri, through its Information Technology Services Division (ITSD), is seeking proposals from vendors to provide IT services for the state's z-Series, i-Series, and p-Series servers. The contract period is for one year, with the potential for two one-year renewal options. Vendors must provide firm, fixed monthly pricing for each of the three server series individually, as well as for a combined service covering all three series. Key deliverables include monthly pricing for the initial three-year term and two optional renewal periods. A pre-proposal conference will be held on September 22, 2016, and proposals are due by November 9, 2016. Vendors must submit their responses electronically through the MissouriBUYS system or as a hard copy to the Division of Purchasing.

The solicitation does not include any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. It also does not provide information on any incumbent vendors or current contractors. Similarly, the RFPT does not specify any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. While the total award value is not disclosed, the RFPT requests firm, fixed monthly pricing for the initial three-year term and two optional one-year renewal periods across the various server series.
