SOLICITATION RFB-IS-26200634-1.pdf

This is a Request for Bid (RFB) solicitation issued by the California Department of Small Business (DSB) in coordination with the Los Angeles County Regional Information System (LACRIS) for the renewal of State of the Art (SOTI) services under solicitation number RFB-IS-26200634-1. The solicitation was posted on February 17, 2026, with proposals due by February 27, 2026, providing a ten-day response window for interested vendors. The procurement is designated as brand-only, indicating it is limited to a specific branded solution or incumbent vendor. While specific product and service details are not fully detailed in the available documentation, this represents a renewal of existing SOTI services previously provided to the state and regional system. The solicitation requires vendors to submit all completed mandatory forms and documentation to meet baseline compliance requirements for consideration.

This procurement includes a Certification of Business Enterprise (CBE) set-aside component, requiring vendors to complete and submit CBE certification documentation to establish eligibility and proper categorization within California's disadvantaged business enterprise procurement framework. Vendors must also complete mandatory purchasing declaration forms as part of their submission package. The brand-only designation restricts competition to the incumbent vendor or a limited class of approved branded solution providers, effectively limiting the competitive field. No incumbent vendor information, current contract values, award amounts, budget ranges, or funding sources were disclosed in the available documentation. Prospective bidders must allow adequate time to complete all required CBE certifications and supporting documentation prior to the February 27, 2026 deadline and should review the complete solicitation document for all technical specifications, pricing requirements, and integration requirements with existing LACRIS infrastructure.
