Network Allocated Storage (NAS)

The State of Ohio Department of Administrative Services is issuing a Quick‑Quote solicitation exclusively for Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) dealers to provide a Network Attached Storage (NAS) system that will support digital forensics activities. Bidders must reference existing state contract numbers (RSC024735, RSC021317, RSC021135, 0A1375, STS033) and meet or beat the contract pricing; quotes not tied to a current state contract will be rejected. The award will be based on the lowest responsive and responsible MBE quote, and the contract can be extended up to three additional one‑year terms at the State’s discretion. • MBE‑only solicitation – only qualified minority‑owned businesses may submit. • Required product: enterprise‑grade NAS for digital forensics. • Must quote at or below pricing on existing state contracts and include contract number in the grid. • Evaluation based on lowest price; potential for up to three one‑year renewals. • All responses must be submitted via the provided grid; no external documentation accepted.
