About this opportunity

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Office of Acquisition Services is conducting market research to identify small business resellers of Appian software licenses and limited technical support. This Request for Information (RFI) is not a formal solicitation for proposals and will not result in contract awards or payment to respondents. The CDC is seeking information on small business availability, size classifications, socio-economic designations (such as HUBZone, SDVOSB, VOSB, SDB, 8(a), WOSB, or EDWOSB status), and the Federal contracting vehicles through which vendors operate (including GSA Multiple Award Schedule, GWACs, or open market capabilities). Interested vendors must provide documentation of authorization to resell Appian licenses, market research pricing using a government-provided template, identification of applicable Federal Supply Schedules or GWACs, and capability briefs. The RFI deadline for responses is April 6, 2026, just five days from the posting date of April 1, 2026. The government intends to procure through a Federal Supply Schedule or GWAC rather than open market, leveraging category management requirements.

No set-aside designation has been applied to this market research effort. The specific procurement requirement centers on supporting a Records Management System with 625 named users and 575 infrequent users, including Production Cloud instances (4xLarge and Large configurations), Application Specific Users with unlimited access, Infrequent Users (capped at four times monthly), additional Cloud xLarge Instances, Non-Production Cloud instances, Premier Support with High Availability, and cloud storage at per-100GB increments. Pricing should reflect a performance period of up to five years with annual pricing or escalation rates clearly identified, covering all software license renewals, media, documentation, maintenance, and major and minor version upgrades for non-high security U.S. Government environments. No specific award value or budget ceiling is disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, as the government is conducting preliminary market research to inform procurement strategy and method selection. The NAICS code is 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), and the PSC code is 7A20 (IT and Telecom - Application Development Software with Perpetual License).

Notice text

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.

Appian product(s) software and licensing for RMS should be based on #625 named users and 575 infrequent users (4 times per month) with ability to manage user licenses. 

The Appian product(s) will provide software license renewal, media, documentation, and maintenance during the specified performance period. The Appian product(s) shall provide major and minor software version upgrades during performance period. The Appian product(s) will ensure software conforms to all applicable regulations and guidelines for use in a non-high security US Government environment for the performance period.

Period of Performance: Up to 5 years, so please provide a copy for each year or an escalation rate.
