Caltrans Enterprise Data Governance Technology Solution (EDGTS)

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), acting under the authority of the California Department of Technology (CDT), is seeking proposals for an Enterprise Data Governance Technology Solution (EDGTS). This procurement is a fixed-price, deliverable-based solicitation for a comprehensive Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution focused on data governance. The primary objectives include implementing a technology platform that provides reliable, accessible, shareable, and quality-controlled data for Caltrans and its partner organizations. The solution must integrate technical data governance capabilities with geospatial functionality, encompassing defined roles, responsibilities, and processes to establish a sustainable enterprise data governance approach. The solution will require software licensing, maintenance, and optional post-implementation services. Proposals are due by March 27, 2025, with the original Request for Proposal (RFP) document posted on January 15, 2025. Two government files have been attached to the solicitation: an addendum file (13MB) and the primary RFP document (12MB), both dated January 15, 2025.

While specific details about set-aside designations are not explicitly provided in the available documentation, the solicitation appears to be open to a broad vendor community capable of delivering an enterprise-level data governance technology solution. The RFP seeks a comprehensive SaaS platform that can be implemented across Caltrans' organizational ecosystem, suggesting a preference for vendors with extensive experience in enterprise data management and governance technologies. No incumbent vendors or specific integration requirements are mentioned in the provided materials. The procurement seems designed to be competitive and technology-agnostic, focused on finding a vendor that can provide a robust, scalable data governance solution. Given the enterprise-level nature of the project and the involvement of a state transportation department, potential vendors should anticipate a significant technology investment, though specific budget ranges or award values are not disclosed in the available documentation. Interested bidders are expected to carefully review the complete RFP documentation to understand the full scope of requirements and evaluation criteria.
