Submit Certificate of Insurance (2).pdf

This Certificate of Insurance submission document pertains to the State of California's mainframe software renewal procurement for Sierra authorized resellers. The solicitation requires bidders to submit a Certificate of Insurance as a mandatory deliverable alongside other required documentation, including a Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) Form. Bids are due on August 20, 2026, with questions also due by that same date at bid opening. The contract encompasses renewal of existing mainframe software licenses and associated support services necessary to maintain current mainframe system operations. The scope includes detailed technical requirements and service level agreements that will form the basis for evaluation and award. Renewal options are available to extend coverage beyond the initial service period commitment.

Eligible bidders must be authorized resellers of Sierra products to qualify for consideration. The State's pricing schedule will govern all pricing submissions, and pricing must conform to specified requirements. The procurement appears to include potential set-asides or preferences for small business participation under California regulations, as evidenced by the CBE Form requirement, though specific set-aside categories are not detailed in the available documentation. Funding is drawn from the State's IT budget allocation. The incumbent vendor's current service levels establish baseline performance expectations, though the incumbent vendor's name is not identified in the source materials provided.
