Automated License System

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (FWP) issued a Request for Information (RFI) numbered FWP-RFI-2019-0066 seeking potential software solutions for an Automated Licensing System (ALS) to replace their current licensing and campsite reservation system. The procurement targets a comprehensive software solution capable of processing transactions for hunting, fishing, recreational licenses, permits, reservations, and other inventory sales across FWP offices, parks, and retail stores statewide. The RFI was open from August 31, 2018, at 1:00 PM MDT to September 27, 2018, at 2:00 PM MDT, with a focus on computing equipment, software, and related services as indicated by commodity codes 0910, 0911, and 1020. The primary objective is to implement a new system that can efficiently manage licensing and reservation activities across Montana's Fish, Wildlife and Parks ecosystem. The RFI's key contact is Kari Shinn, reachable at KShinn@mt.gov or +1 406-495-3249, who can provide more detailed specifications to interested vendors. Importantly, this is strictly an informational request, and no direct contract will result from vendor responses.

The RFI documentation does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. No incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure details were explicitly outlined in the provided materials. While the document indicates a need for a comprehensive licensing system, no specific budget range or potential award value was mentioned. The procurement appears open to various software vendors capable of delivering a robust, statewide licensing and reservation management solution. The system will need to integrate with existing FWP operational processes and potentially replace current technological infrastructure. Vendors are encouraged to provide comprehensive information about potential solutions that can meet the state's licensing and reservation system requirements, with a focus on technological capabilities and system functionality.
