RFP Appendix 6 - Software.xlsx

This is RFP Appendix 6 for Software Products submitted by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) for Mainframe Services RFP 3525R03. The appendix requires offerors to identify which software products from PennDOT's existing mainframe and managed server environment will be utilized in their proposed solution and to specify any new software products being introduced. The document provides detailed instructions for completing two worksheets: one for mainframe software and one for managed server software. Offerors must indicate whether each listed software item will be used in their solution, provide license quantities and types, identify the party responsible for charges with the new contract, and include future license terms and conditions. The software list encompasses a comprehensive range of products including IBM z/OS components and features, database management systems such as DB2 and IMS, monitoring and management tools, development compilers and utilities, and third-party applications from vendors including SAS, Oracle, Broadcom, and others. All software currently used in service provision is expected to transfer to the new service provider except items designated as "PennDOT" owned, with all licenses expiring on June 30, 2028.

The appendix specifies that offerors must complete all required fields with blue-highlighted areas indicating mandatory input fields, and mark "N/A" where fields are not applicable. Current license counts are based on 1450 MIPS allocation across most products, with license types varying by product including subscriptions, perpetual licenses, concurrent users, and instance-based licensing. The incumbent service provider currently holds responsibility for most software charges, though PennDOT retains ownership of specific items including DataVantage for IMS, MetaCOBOL, VISION:Builder for z/OS, Librarian tools, and PDF417 Encoder. Offerors must indicate whether licenses are assignable to the new service provider and identify any early cancellation penalties. The document requires offerors to identify the license owner at commencement of the new contract, specify whether licenses are transferable to PennDOT or third parties post-contract, and note any transfer fees. This appendix serves as a critical inventory management tool for evaluating software asset continuity and cost responsibility under the new mainframe services agreement.
