PR8908_Letter_of_intent_to_award__NON_COMMISSION.pdf

This is a Notice of Intent to Award issued by the Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC) in Orlando, Florida, dated June 22, 2026. The award recommendation addresses RFQ PR9299 for the renewal of SmartBear ReadyAPI and VirtServer licenses, which includes ten SmartBear ReadyAPI Test Fixed User Subscription Licenses, four SmartBear ReadyAPI Virtualization Fixed User Subscription Licenses, and one SmartBear VirtServer license supporting up to 50 virtual instances. The RFQ solicited two quote options: a one-year term beginning October 1, 2026 and ending September 30, 2027, and a multi-year term also beginning October 1, 2026 with the vendor to determine the optimal term length (three or five years) to provide maximum savings on the renewal purchase.

American Business Solutions Inc. has been selected as the apparent successful vendor for this license renewal contract. The notice indicates that OUC reserves the right to cancel the Notice of Intent to Award at any time prior to contract execution, and that no legal or equitable rights accrue to the supplier until a fully executed contract containing terms and conditions acceptable to OUC is finalized. The award remains contingent upon successful contract negotiation; if the apparent successful supplier fails to execute an acceptable contract, OUC may revoke the award and select the next highest-ranked vendor or withdraw the RFQ entirely. A Purchase Order will be issued once the contract is executed.
