SYSBII-CICS VSAM Software Maintenance and Support

This is a single source posting notification; there are no solicitation documents for download. Note this posting is not a Request for Bid (RFB) or Request for Proposal (RFP).

The Minnesota Department of IT Services (Agency) intends to renew an agreement with H&W Computer Systems, Inc. (H&W), for up to 36 months to provide continued, uninterrupted use of SYSBII-CICS VSAM File Sharing software including maintenance and support services.

SYSBII-CICS VSAM is used by the Agency for mainframe support of customer applications. The Agency has determined that SYSBII-CICS VSAM File Sharing software is the only commercially reasonably available commodity product that meets the Agency’s business needs. The software is solely distributed and supported by H&W, which retains exclusive ownership, copyright, and trademark rights. Because the proprietary software is not available from other third parties, the Agency believes this to be a single source purchase.

If there are any concerns regarding this single source opportunity, contact Elizabeth Randa at Elizabeth.Randa@state.mn.us before June 20, 2025, at 2:00 PM Central Time. Include the reference number and title of the posting in the subject line.
