Veritas Enterprise Archive Software and Maintenance Agency Specific

The State of Illinois, through the Department of Innovation and Technology (DoIT), is seeking to establish an indefinite quantity contract with a single vendor for Veritas Enterprise Vault and eDiscovery software, including the Enterprise Vault On-Premises, Clearwell Suites, and Veritas Cloud Solutions, as well as associated maintenance services. The contract will provide agencies across the State with a comprehensive enterprise archiving and eDiscovery platform. Bidders must be authorized by the manufacturer to provide the requested goods and services and submit pricing based on a percentage discount off MSRP, which will be evaluated to determine the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The contract will have an initial term of 5 years and may be renewed up to a total of 10 years. All bids must be submitted electronically through the BidBuy procurement system by April 19, 2023 at 10:00am CST, as the State will only accept electronic submissions and will not consider any paper responses.

The contract does not appear to have any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The current contract holders are CDW Government LLC, with an estimated gross revenue of $1,000,000 over the life of the contract, and the contract does not include any Business Enterprise Program or Veteran's Business Program utilization goals. The solicitation does not provide a maximum contract value, and funding for the contract will be provided by the State.
