This is a Request for Bids (RFB) issued by the State of California for the renewal of Decision Lens licenses under a 1 + 3 year agreement structure. The procurement seeks to secure licensing for Decision Lens software, a portfolio and decision management tool used by the state. The RFB specifies the requirement for continuous license availability throughout the contract term, with the initial contract period of one year followed by three optional one-year renewal periods at the state's discretion. Bidders were required to submit proposals by the stated deadline, with award anticipated upon evaluation of responses meeting the state's technical and pricing requirements.

The pricing structure requires bidders to provide comprehensive quotes covering all licensing fees, maintenance, support, and any associated costs for the full contract term including renewal options. As an incumbent renewal, the current Decision Lens vendor would hold an advantage if meeting or exceeding previous service levels. Funding for this procurement derives from the state's operational budget allocated to software licensing and portfolio management capabilities. The agreement terms emphasize continuity of service to avoid disruption to the state's decision-making and resource allocation processes that depend on the Decision Lens platform.
