Broward County’s Office of Regional Communication and Technology is seeking information from vendors, including Hewlett Packard Enterprise, regarding a potential future solicitation to refresh data center server hardware and software. This Request for Information is not a solicitation for bids, quotes, or pricing, nor does it constitute a commitment to purchase; it is solely intended to gather market intelligence to inform the development of a future procurement strategy. Vendors are encouraged to respond with details about their products, capabilities, and experience relevant to data center infrastructure refreshes, using the electronic bidding system by the deadline of August 3, 2026. The RFI remains open until that time, and all submissions must be submitted electronically through the specified portal. The primary point of contact for this RFI is Nicola Palmer, with Latoya Clark-Forbes as the alternate, both reachable via email through the Broward County domain. The announcement is posted under solicitation number GEN2132635F1 and was made available on July 21, 2026. While no NAICS code or set-aside details are provided, the solicitation applies to vendors operating in Florida, with performance expected to support Broward County operations. The agency is evaluating market offerings to determine the most suitable approach for modernizing its data center environment, and vendor responses will help shape future procurement requirements and timelines.
