This document is a Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) Request for Offer (RFO) for Cloud Computing Services. The RFO is seeking providers for a wide range of cloud computing services, including Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). The services will be used by various state and local government entities in Texas. The RFO outlines the scope of work, service level agreements, and other requirements. Responses are due by March 14, 2023, and the contract term is expected to be 5 years with two 2-year renewal options.

The RFO specifies pricing terms, including the use of a tiered pricing model based on consumption, as well as set-asides for historically underutilized businesses (HUBs). There is no incumbent vendor, as this is a new statewide contract. The contract will be funded through the budgets of the participating state and local government entities. No specific funding amounts are provided, as usage and spending will depend on the needs and consumption of the various agencies and jurisdictions.
