Cancellation Notification for FITSM IV&V and QA RFO 25-079

The California Department of Technology, through the Office of Statewide Technology Procurement, has issued a cancellation notice for Request for Offer (RFO) No. 25-079, which was originally seeking Independent Verification (IV&V) and Quality Assurance (QA) services for the FITSM project at the California Department of Justice. The procurement opportunity, initially posted on October 20, 2025, with a response deadline of October 24, 2025, has been entirely canceled. The RFO was designed to solicit professional services for comprehensive technology project verification and quality assurance, likely involving comprehensive assessment of technology implementation, risk management, and compliance monitoring. Specific deliverables would have included detailed IV&V reports, quality assessment documentation, and ongoing project performance evaluations. The primary point of contact for this procurement is Binh Thai, Primary Procurement Officer, who can be reached at Binh.Thai@State.ca.gov for inquiries about the future rerelease of the RFO.

While the cancellation notice does not provide specific details about set-aside designations, incumbent vendors, or precise award values, it indicates that a new RFO will be released at a later date. The procurement appears to be focused on technology services for the California Department of Justice, suggesting potential opportunities for firms with expertise in information technology verification, quality assurance, and government technology project management. The future RFO will likely require respondents to demonstrate comprehensive technical capabilities, relevant experience in government technology projects, and a proven track record of successful IV&V and QA service delivery. Potential respondents should prepare comprehensive proposals that highlight their technical expertise, previous government technology project experiences, and ability to provide rigorous independent verification and quality assurance services. Interested vendors are advised to monitor future communications from the California Department of Technology for the upcoming RFO release and specific requirements.
