REQUESTED ACTION

Pursuant to Adm 606.08, authorize the Department of Information Technology (DoIT) to enter into a

Retroactive hardware and maintenance support renewal with CBTS Technology Solutions LLC. (VC

299671), Cincinnati, OH in the amount of $104,620.57 support and maintenance for our Dell LMC

Enterprise Storage arrays, effective Governor and Council approval for the period of October 20, 2025

through September 30, 2026. 100% Other Funds.

Funds are budgeted in Fiscal Year 2026 in the following account:

500165-037-500099-Computer Hardware Maintenance $104,620.57

EXPLANATION

This request is Retroactive due to a funding delay during the annual maintenance consolidation process.

Although our standard practice is to renew all infrastructure maintenance contracts on a recurring cycle, the

Dell-LMC storage arrays were delayed due to budget cuts and the need to identify equipment that would

forego maintenance as part of a risk to cost based analysis. The term of this support is October 20, 2025

through September 30, 2026.

The Dell-LMC enterprise storage arrays are vital components of our production storage architecture. They

support mission-critical applications, virtual server environments, file systems, and database workloads

required for daily operations and regulatory compliance. Without maintenance:

• We risk extended recovery times in the event of hardware failure.

• Replacement parts, on-site engineers, and technical support are not guaranteed, increasing the

likelihood of prolonged service outages.

• We lose access to firmware, security patches, and code upgrades, which can affect stability,

performance, and compatibility with virtualization platforms and operating systems.

• The absence of vendor support undermines our disaster recovery posture and weakens our overall

data protection strategy.

Timely restoration of support coverage is essential to maintaining system availability, ensuring compliance

with state and federal operational requirements, and safeguarding service continuity in the event of a storage

system failure. We respectfully request retroactive approval of this maintenance renewal to restore Dell-

EMC OEM support and eliminate the risks associated with unsupported enterprise storage infrastructure.

This request was competitively bid by NH Department of Administrative Services, Bid 75-26 on January

7, 2026, with two vendor responses.

Justification: Retroactive Purchase

EXPLANATION

Justification for Retroactive Renewal of LTO Tape Library Maintenance

Executive Summary

This request seeks approval for the retroactive renewal of support and maintenance for our Dell-

EMC enterprise storage arrays, which serve as critical infrastructure within the State IT

Department's production environment. These arrays support core data services, including

virtualized workloads, agency application data, databases, and shared storage functions for

multiple state agencies. Maintenance coverage ensures continued access to OEM support,

microcode and firmware updates, proactive system monitoring, parts replacement, and rapid

incident response.

Explanation for Retroactive Nature of Request

This renewal became retroactive due to a funding delay during the annual maintenance

consolidation process. Although our standard practice is to renew all infrastructure maintenance

contracts on a recurring cycle, the Dell-EMC storage arrays were delayed due to budget cuts and

the need to identify equipment that would forego maintenance as part of a risk to cost based

analysis.

Operational Impact and Criticality

The Dell-EMC enterprise storage arrays are vital components of our production storage

architecture. They support mission-critical applications, virtual server environments, file

systems, and database workloads required for daily operations and regulatory compliance.

Without maintenance:

We risk extended recovery times in the event of hardware failure.

Replacement parts, on-site engineers, and teehnical support are not guaranteed,

increasing the likelihood of prolonged service outages.

We lose access to firmware, security patches, and code upgrades, which can affect

The absence of vendor support undermines our disaster recovery posture and weakens

Conclusion

Timely restoration of support coverage is essential to maintaining system availability, ensuring

compliance with state and federal operational requirements, and safeguarding service continuity

in the event of a storage system failure. We respectfully request retroactive approval of this

maintenance renewal to restore Dell-EMC OEM support and eliminate the risks associated with

unsupported enterprise storage infrastructure.

presented or a PO issued by the Client. CBTS reserves the right to amend the price if the supplier exercises their rights to increase prices as a result of changes

in tariffs before shipment. Absent any negotiated agreement between the parties, this quote shall be governed by the Master Services, Products, and License
