RFI 97200 - CDC Appian Licenses.docx

Request for Information

Title: CDC Appian Licenses & Limited Technical Support

NAICS: 541519

Introduction:

This is a general request for information from small-businesses. This is NOT a solicitation for proposals, proposal abstracts, or formal quotations. Market Research pricing is requested, but responses to RFIs are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. (i) The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of the RFI or otherwise pay for the information requested; and (ii) Responses will be treated as information only and not as a proposal.

Purpose:

The purpose of this notice is to obtain information regarding: (1) the availability and capability of qualified small business sources, (2) their size classification relative to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) for the proposed acquisition, (3) the small business classification of any small businesses responding, (e.g. HUBZone, SDVOSB, VOSB, SDB, 8(a), WOSB, EDWOSB), and (4) any contracting methods or vehicles that any responding business may be available on (e.g. GSA MAS, GWACs, open market, etc.). Your responses to the information requested will assist the government in determining the appropriate acquisition method, including whether a set-aside is possible. Given category management requirements, the government intends to procure through a Federal Supply Schedule or GWAC, rather than open market.

Submit the Following:

1. Approved Vendor: Documentation of authorization or approval to resell the relevant Appian Licenses.

2. Market Reasearch Pricing: Fill in the template attached/below.

3. Contract Vehicles: Any Federal Supply Schedules or GWACs.

4. Capability Briefs Information Requested:

The government is seeking approximate pricing for a small-business resellers of Appian software licenses. Pricing may be exact or a range, but the range must be limited enough to be useful. Example: A potential far market price range of $100-120 may be quoted as $90-130 and be useful, where a price range of $50-300 for that same item is too broad to tell.
