T3152 - Disaster Recovery Services for Judiciary

The New Jersey Department of Treasury's Division of Purchase and Property is soliciting bids for Disaster Recovery Services for the Judiciary through Bid Solicitation #24DPP00953 (T3152). The procurement seeks a contractor to provide a Primary Hot Site Recovery Facility and an Alternate Hot Site Recovery Facility capable of supporting the Judiciary's comprehensive computing environment, which currently serves over 12,000 users across multiple server platforms including mainframe, Windows, AIX, and ESXi systems. The contractor must manage network re-routing, provide equipment leasing, and maintain a minimum of three cabinets with 250 square feet of caged conditioned floor space and 2,700 square feet of workspace within the same facility. Required deliverables include full system recovery infrastructure, virtual desktop images, network connectivity, power distribution, and hardware/software maintenance for leased equipment. Facilities must be self-sustaining with a minimum 10-day power generation capability and located within 500 miles of Trenton, NJ. Key procurement dates include an optional pre-quote conference on January 3, 2025, electronic questions due by January 10, 2025, and quote submissions due by February 19, 2025, with a proposed three-year contract term and potential for three one-year extensions.

The solicitation includes a Small Business Set-Aside requirement focusing on subcontracting opportunities for small, woman-owned, minority-owned, veteran-owned, and disabled veteran-owned businesses. Vendors are encouraged to partner and consult the Division of Revenue & Enterprise Services database for qualifying small business enterprises. The current contract is a reprocurement of the existing G9000 Disaster Recovery Services contract, suggesting continuity of service is important. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive technical requirements spanning mainframe servers, network infrastructure, virtual desktop environments, and extensive workspace suggest a significant contract value. The procurement requires detailed technical capabilities, including support for complex systems like a z/OS Enterprise Server with 8,142 MIPS capacity, multiple networking components, and extensive storage infrastructure. Vendors must complete a comprehensive set of standard procurement forms, provide ownership disclosures, and demonstrate compliance with state and federal regulatory requirements, indicating a rigorous selection process that will evaluate technical competence, financial stability, and alignment with the Judiciary's specific disaster recovery needs.
