Hitachi Storage Renewal Services

The County of Westchester seeks a vendor to provide Hitachi Storage Renewal Services. The scope includes annual Hitachi storage maintenance, software support, node licenses, object replication licenses, compute trays, and free host+ storage. Bids must be properly signed, sealed, and received in hard copy prior to 2:00 PM on October 8, 2026; emailed and faxed bids are not permitted. The source description lists eligibility as USA organizations performing work offsite, but the official solicitation requires bidders to provide evidence of experience, ability, and financial standing if requested. The buyer evaluates winning bids using unit pricing and delivery time, reserving the right to reject bids proposing lengthy delivery schedules. The contract allows the County to extend bid pricing for identical items required within 12 months of award, and specific line-item licenses list coverage dates from January 1, 2027, to December 31, 2027.
