Addendum__1_Cover_Letter_for_IFB_FTB-2627-00141.docx

This addendum modifies an Invitation for Bid (IFB) issued by the California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) for an Axway Enterprise Bundle Managed File Transfer Software Subscription Renewal (IFB FTB-2627-00141, Event ID 0000039886). The addendum, dated August 4, 2026, supersedes all previous language in the original IFB and identifies specific modifications that bidders must incorporate into their responses. The primary change involves revisions to the Cost Worksheet on page 18 of the IFB, specifically modifying the pricing structure by adding a Line-Item 2 with a specified term and revising the Year 1, Year 2, and Year 3 term pricing. Bidders are required to use the complete revised IFB FTB-2627-00141 Addendum 1 package, including all embedded documents and attachments, when preparing their bids. All other terms and conditions of the original IFB remain unchanged unless specifically modified in this addendum.

The addendum emphasizes that the Cost Worksheet modifications are the only substantive changes to the original solicitation. Georgeanne Polston, the FTB Procurement Official, issued this addendum and is available to answer questions from bidders via email at Georgeanne.Polston@ftb.ca.gov or by telephone at (916) 845-6432. Bidders are instructed to review the addendum carefully and incorporate the revised pricing terms into their bids before submission.
