U.S. Senate Splunk Renewal

The U.S. Senate Splunk Renewal solicitation, identified by number 2026-R-064, is a Firm-Fixed-Price request for quotation issued by the Senate Sergeant at Arms to renew Splunk Enterprise term licenses across multiple data ingestion tiers ranging from 10 GB/day to 1000 GB/day. Although the pricing table is structured with line items for each license tier, all unit and extended prices are currently unpopulated or marked as NaN, indicating that vendors must complete and submit their pricing as part of the response. The proposal must be submitted electronically by 5:00 PM on May 8, 2026, to Holly McDonald at holly_mcdonald@saa.senate.gov with the subject line “RFQ 2026-R-064”; no physical submissions are accepted. Vendors are required to provide a completed Excel pricing table, the Addendum to Commercial Agreements, and any applicable OEM compliance statements, all in searchable PDF or editable Excel format, with non-searchable or image-based files explicitly prohibited. Performance under the resulting contract will commence on July 20, 2026, and extend through July 19, 2027, with services delivered at the United States Senate in Washington, DC, under F.O.B. Destination terms. All contractor personnel requiring unescorted access to Senate facilities or IT systems must undergo stringent background checks, including submission of the Background Information Questionnaire, Non-Disclosure Certification, FD-258 Fingerprinting Card, and USCP Form CP-491, with re-clearance required every six years or upon any change in status. The contract strictly prohibits automatic renewals, assignment, indemnification clauses, third-party terms by reference, and advertising implying Senate endorsement. Contractors must comply with Senate cybersecurity standards, federal data protection laws, and tax-exempt requirements, and submit invoices only via email to AP@saa.senate.gov as non-editable, searchable PDFs with remittance information on letterhead. Payment will be processed through the Senate Disbursing Office, with direct deposit preferred. Any change in corporate control, such as merger or bankruptcy, requires 30 days’ prior written notice and may result in immediate contract termination with mandatory data sanitization and return. The contract does not include option periods for extension without explicit written approval, and the Senate retains full authority for inspection and acceptance based on the contractor’s representations and the functional requirements specified in
