Summary

This is a Request for Bids (RFB) document issued by the State of California for a multi-year software license renewal with Omnissa, replacing a previous solicitation (RFB-IS-2620091). The procurement seeks to secure software licensing services for an unspecified duration with potential renewal options. The document outlines the state's requirement to maintain continuity of Omnissa software solutions across its operations. Key procedural elements include specified response and submission deadlines, with formal bid evaluation criteria and award determination processes. The contract term encompasses multiple years, allowing the state to establish a long-term software licensing relationship while maintaining flexibility through structured renewal provisions.

The pricing structure and financial terms are to be submitted by qualified bidders in accordance with the state's procurement requirements and evaluation methodology. The solicitation may include set-asides for small businesses or disadvantaged business enterprises as permitted under California law. As a renewal of an existing contract, Omnissa may hold incumbent status, though competitive bidding procedures apply. The funding for this software license renewal is sourced through the state's operational budget allocations. This multi-year approach provides budget predictability and ensures uninterrupted access to critical software solutions necessary for state operations.
