Today, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) organization issued a request for quotation (RFQ) to identify one or more providers to facilitate the sourcing and pre-configuration tasks for servers for its global network infrastructure.
At appropriate intervals commensurate with the expected longevity of hardware, ICANN's Domain Name System (DNS) engineering function refreshes its infrastructure components to ensure that equipment can support ICANN production services. The new servers are intended to replace or augment existing systems and services provided by the ICANN DNS engineering function.

Email indications of interest to: Servers2022-RFQ@icann.org.
Please submit proposals electronically using ICANN's sourcing tool.
Participants who have already used the sourcing tool may use the same credentials and do not need to re-request access. New participants may request access to this tool via the same email noted above.
The deadline for submissions is 23:59 UTC on 12 April 2022.
