FFD is looking for a Brand name or equal to WebFOCUS licensing and associated components required for continued support to FRA-C on the AWS-SC2S commercial cloud infrastructures, including “air-gapped” deployments.

This RFI seeks to understand the tiered pricing structures, service level agreement options, contracting mechanisms, and capabilities of vendors that can provide a COTS business intelligence (BI) Brand name or equal to WebFOCUS software licenses and associated services
