588563 software - subscription - omnissa - multi year

The State of California is requesting bids for a multi-year software subscription renewal for Omnissa products under RFB-IS-27200051, with bids due August 6, 2026.

The procurement establishes tiered licensing models with volume discounts across a multi-year contract term. The scope includes Omnissa software licensing, user seats, concurrent access rights, technical support, and software updates to support state IT operations. Specific quantities of licenses and deployment configurations are detailed in Appendix A of the RFB.

Bidders must submit a Certification of Bidder Eligibility (CBE) worksheet as a mandatory gatekeeping component, documenting business classification, applicable state certifications (including small business, disadvantaged business enterprise, or other certifications), and attestations of eligibility to contract with California. The CBE worksheet establishes foundational eligibility criteria and ensures compliance with California procurement regulations and any applicable set-aside programs.

Pricing evaluation reflects tiered licensing structures with potential volume discounts negotiated over the extended contract term. The multi-year structure provides cost stability and operational continuity while allowing renewal flexibility. Contract terms include software update provisions, technical support level agreements, and compliance requirements specific to state government data security standards. Funding derives from California state IT budget appropriations.
