Business Continuity/Disaster Recovery Services-Mobile Command Center & Support Services - RFP

The State of California's Department of State Hospitals (DSH) is seeking proposals for Business Continuity/Disaster Recovery Services that will provide DSH facilities with fully functioning independent and mobile emergency intermediate operational facilities. The purpose is to establish mobile facilities that can support the emergency coordination and direction needs of the DSH Emergency Operation Centers at any of the six DSH hospital sites. DSH is looking for vendors who can provide emergency communications, telecommunications, power, and technology equipment necessary to operate in a disaster or emergency scenario. Proposals are due by May 8, 2024, and DSH anticipates awarding the contract to start on June 6, 2024 for an initial 36-month term. DSH will evaluate proposals based on the proposer's experience, technical approach, and pricing, which is requested on a monthly and per-occurrence basis for activating, operating, and deactivating the facilities.

The RFP includes preference programs for small businesses and disabled veteran-owned businesses. There is a $100,000 per year cost cap on the contract. The RFP does not indicate any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it mention any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The available budget range is not specified, but the cost cap of $100,000 per year provides an indication of the expected award value.
