Splunk Enterprise Renewal FY26 TERM LIC

The Ohio Department of Taxation is soliciting competitive bids for a Splunk Enterprise software license renewal covering the fiscal period from June 28, 2026, through June 27, 2027. The procurement seeks one (1) unit of Splunk Enterprise with the manufacturer part number SE-T-LIC-ST-100GB, which represents a 100GB storage capacity license. Bidders must submit quoted prices that are at or lower than the existing contract pricing to be considered responsive. The opportunity was posted on March 30, 2026, with a submission deadline of April 14, 2026. This is a renewal procurement, indicating that the Department of Taxation currently utilizes Splunk Enterprise software and seeks continuity of service through license extension. Evaluation criteria focus on price competitiveness relative to established contract pricing benchmarks, with selection favoring the lowest most responsive bid from qualified respondents.

This contract opportunity includes a set-aside designation prioritizing Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) vendors, with award preference given to the lowest most responsive MBE bid that meets or exceeds all technical and pricing requirements. The procurement specification for the specific Splunk Enterprise license configuration (SE-T-LIC-ST-100GB) indicates integration requirements with the Department's existing Splunk infrastructure and data analytics platform. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the solicitation materials; however, pricing is constrained by reference to existing contract pricing, suggesting the renewal cost will remain consistent with or below previously negotiated rates. Incumbent vendor information and specific pricing benchmarks are not detailed in the posted opportunity notice, and interested vendors should review the complete solicitation documents and any available historical pricing data to prepare competitive proposals.
