Attachment 1 - Financial Response Form.xlsx

This is a Financial Response Form for an Invitation for Bid (IFB C001029) issued by the New York State Office of Information Technology Services (ITS) on behalf of the State Liquor Authority's Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control (SLA/ABC). The procurement seeks hosting services for a Wholesale Platform that manages price posting for alcoholic beverages and retail payment delinquency processes, supporting a user base of over 50,000 licensed wholesalers, manufacturers, retailers, and members of the public. The platform must facilitate critical regulatory functions including monthly price filings, brand appointment letters, limited availability item submissions, and delinquent credit management. The contract term extends five years with two optional extension periods (years six and seven), and the first contract year includes four months of service.

Bidders must submit fixed costs for eight implementation deliverables including project planning, system architecture and design, mandatory system requirements and functionality, testing, training, production readiness, go-live, and post-go-live support. Monthly recurring service fees must be provided for each contract year covering platform, hosting, maintenance, and software support services. The form automatically calculates the total implementation cost, total recurring services cost, and total bid cost. Contracting goals include a 6.00% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business (SDVOB) participation goal and a 30.00% Minority/Women Business Enterprise (MWBE) participation goal. Bidders are restricted to modifying only the highlighted yellow cells in the financial form; any alterations to other fields may result in proposal disqualification.
