Summary of RFB-IS-27200286 Appendix A

This appendix document supports a Request for Bid (RFB) issued by the State of California for software maintenance and annual renewal services for TIBCO products. The procurement seeks to maintain existing TIBCO software licensing and support through an annual renewal agreement. The document establishes the technical specifications, requirements, and evaluation criteria that prospective vendors must meet to provide continued maintenance services for the state's TIBCO software infrastructure. Specific details regarding response deadlines, bidders' conferences, site visits, and contract award dates should be referenced in the main RFB documentation, as this appendix focuses on the detailed requirements and specifications governing the maintenance renewal.

Pricing, payment terms, and any set-asides or incumbent considerations are addressed within the broader RFB structure. The renewal nature of this procurement indicates an incumbent vendor relationship exists, with the current maintenance agreement requiring continuation or replacement through this competitive bidding process. Funding for this annual renewal is sourced through the state's operating budget allocated for software maintenance and support services. Vendors responding to this opportunity should reference both this appendix and the primary RFB documentation for complete information regarding pricing submission requirements, evaluation methodologies, and contract performance expectations.
