RFB-IS-26200937-1 CBE.xlsx

This is a Cost/Benefit Estimate (CBE) spreadsheet for RFB-IS-26200937-1, issued by the State of California for a multi-year software license procurement to replace an existing Omnissa licensing agreement. The document outlines a competitive bidding evaluation framework designed to assess vendor proposals across multiple cost and benefit criteria. The procurement seeks to secure comprehensive software licensing solutions with consideration given to both financial impact and qualitative benefits such as vendor capability, support services, implementation efficiency, and long-term value delivery. The CBE methodology establishes weighted scoring parameters that allow evaluation personnel to objectively compare competing bids beyond price alone, incorporating factors relevant to the State's operational needs and strategic objectives.

The spreadsheet establishes a structured cost-benefit analysis template that includes line-item categories for financial evaluation alongside non-price factors weighted according to procurement priorities. The document supports California's evaluation process by providing a standardized framework for comparing vendor proposals on both tangible costs and intangible benefits, ensuring that the final award recommendation reflects optimal value to the State. This approach enables procurement officials to balance budget considerations with performance requirements, support quality, license flexibility, and vendor financial stability when selecting the most advantageous proposal for the multi-year Omnissa software licensing requirement.
