Liquid_Files_Instructions.pdf

This document contains instructions for the California State Lottery's secure file transfer system, Liquid Files, which is relevant to the state and local contract opportunity HOPE06-25 for Marketing and Outreach Services administered by the California State Lottery. The Liquid Files system enables external users to securely submit proposal documents and attachments to designated California State Lottery email addresses. External users must first register their email accounts on the platform at https://fta.calottery.com and direct submissions to valid Lottery email addresses registered within the system. The system accommodates file uploads up to 5 gigabytes in size, allowing vendors and contractors to transmit comprehensive proposal materials, supporting documentation, and other required attachments for the RFP process.

The file transfer system maintains security protocols by blocking executable and potentially harmful file extensions, including .exe, .vbs, .pif, .scr, .bat, .cmd, .com, and .cp files. Submissions must follow standard email conventions with subject lines and message text accompanying uploaded files. This secure transfer infrastructure supports the RFP submission process for qualified firms responding to HOPE06-25, which seeks marketing and outreach services to promote the California HOPE for Children Trust Account Program, a statewide initiative designed to address racial wealth gaps and intergenerational poverty through financial investment accounts for eligible foster youth and vulnerable youth populations.
