0B._Pre-Solicitation_Feedback_Template_SCS.xlsx

This is a Pre-Solicitation Feedback Template issued by the California Department of Technology for Invitation for Bid (IFB) STP-SW-SCS-26 regarding structured cabling materials and services for the State of California. The solicitation seeks vendor feedback on two defined groups: Group 1 (Inside Plant Cabling) and Group 2 (Outside Plant Cabling). The pre-solicitation was released on January 30, 2026, with written feedback from bidders and requests to meet with the State due by February 19, 2026. Confidential discussions with individual bidders are scheduled for March 3-5, 2026. The template provides a structured format for vendors to submit recommendations, questions, and comments organized by subject or document name and corresponding SOW section or requirement number, with space for rationale explanations.

The feedback template serves as a mechanism to gather vendor input prior to formal solicitation and does not address pricing terms, set-asides, incumbent information, or funding sources. The template itself is a blank form designed to facilitate organized submission of vendor concerns and suggestions, allowing bidders to systematically document their feedback across up to thirty numbered submission entries before the final bid solicitation is issued.
