Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent based on the closely related prior contract NNG15SD19B-36C26223F0232 awarded to Alvarez for NetApp HCI support (award value $186,712; period 01/01/23–02/29/28). The current requirement is also for NetApp HCI system upgrade/support-related components and services at the Long Beach VA Healthcare System, suggesting continuity from ongoing HCI support into an equipment refresh or enhancement of the same environment.
