About this file

This document is a Questions & Answers (Q&A) file for Solicitation 3908, a SmartSheets Small Business Bid issued by the Knoxville Utilities Board (KUB). The solicitation seeks to procure 154 Paid Users for Advanced Work Management software, with a specific focus on a one-year license extension. The activation date for the new licenses is set for 7/30/25, coinciding with the end of KUB's existing contract, and the winning vendor is expected to complete the activation directly with Smartsheet.

The Q&A document provides clarity on several key bidding parameters, including pricing submission (which can be either per user or as a total bulk cost), product identification (no specific SKU number exists), and contract duration (a single one-year extension). No additional line items are expected in the pricing, and optional renewal pricing for subsequent years is not required. The bid is specifically reserved for small business enterprises, defined as companies with 50 or fewer employees and less than $10 million in annual revenue, with strict requirements for authorized distributors and resellers of the specified software product.
