BidPulsar Analysis
A practical, capture-style breakdown of fit, requirements, risks, and next steps.
The City of Salem has posted a notice titled “Sole Source - Cobalt Iron Software Annual Renewal and Storage Expansion,” indicating an intent to buy from a specific vendor rather than run a broad competition. The requirement appears limited to an annual software renewal plus additional storage capacity for Cobalt Iron Software. A response deadline is provided as 2025-05-11 17:00 UTC, but the notice does not include a solicitation number, statement of work, or technical/quantity details. Unless you are the Cobalt Iron publisher/reseller (or an explicitly authorized channel partner), this is likely not a winnable opportunity to prime.
Renew existing Cobalt Iron Software licensing/maintenance for another year and expand storage capacity under the same product ecosystem for the City of Salem, using a sole-source justification path.
- Confirm current Cobalt Iron Software entitlement(s) and renewal term (annual renewal implied).
- Define storage expansion requirement (capacity, type, licensing metric, and where it applies within the Cobalt Iron environment).
- Provide the renewal quote (software/subscription/maintenance) and storage expansion quote aligned to City of Salem procurement requirements.
- Coordinate delivery/activation of renewed support and expanded storage, including any license keys/entitlements and documentation.
- If required by the City, provide sole-source supporting documentation (OEM letter, reseller authorization, product uniqueness/compatibility rationale).
- Signed quote for “Cobalt Iron Software Annual Renewal and Storage Expansion” addressed to City of Salem.
- Line-item pricing separating annual renewal vs. storage expansion (and any applicable taxes/fees if required by the buyer).
- Proof of OEM/reseller authorization to provide Cobalt Iron renewals and capacity expansions (if you are not the OEM).
- Product/licensing description tying the storage expansion to the City’s existing Cobalt Iron environment (what is being expanded and how it is metered).
- Delivery/activation timeline for renewal and storage expansion (aligned to the City’s needed start date, if provided later).
