About this opportunity
The County of Los Angeles Treasurer and Tax Collector (TTC) is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) to procure a comprehensive Cannabis Business Tax System. The procurement seeks qualified vendors to develop, implement, and operate a complete system to manage cannabis business tax operations for the County, including tax administration, collection, licensing, and reporting functionalities. Proposers must meet minimum mandatory requirements outlined in Section 4.0 of the RFP and demonstrate the ability to fulfill all service requirements detailed in the Statement of Work (Exhibit A). Key evaluation criteria include the proposer's responsiveness to the RFP requirements, with particular emphasis on the ability to accept the County's Standard Terms and Conditions without exceptions; proposals containing numerous or substantive exceptions to contractual terms will receive lower responsiveness scores. The RFP was posted on May 6, 2026, with a proposal due date of July 7, 2026. All proposers are required to submit complete proposals that comply with specified formatting guidelines, include all required forms and exhibits from Appendix B, and complete the Pricing Schedule (Exhibit 10) on a standardized basis. Interested vendors should access the full RFP solicitation materials through the County's official bidding portal at https://camisvr.co.la.ca.us/lacobids/ or the TTC website at https://ttc.lacounty.gov/contract-opportunities/.
The RFP solicitation materials provided do not explicitly detail set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or specific award value ranges for this Cannabis Business Tax System procurement. The available documentation emphasizes the County's requirement that all proposers identify and disclose any exceptions to the Standard Terms and Conditions within their proposal submissions, with the critical provision that proposers may not reject the County's Standard Terms and Conditions in their entirety or attempt to replace them with alternative terms, as such submissions will be deemed non-responsive. No incumbent vendor information or existing technology infrastructure requiring integration is identified in the current solicitation materials. To obtain complete information regarding certification requirements, set-asides, budget parameters, and technical specifications for system integration with existing County infrastructure, prospective proposers should thoroughly review the complete RFP document and contact the County's TTC office through the official bidding portal for any clarifications needed prior to the July 7, 2026 proposal submission deadline.
Opportunity text
The County of Los Angeles (County) Treasurer and Tax Collector (TTC) is issuing this Request for Proposals (RFP) for the provision of the Cannabis Business Tax System. The RFP may be downloaded by accessing https://camisvr.co.la.ca.us/lacobids/, selecting 'Open Solicitations,' and searching by the solicitation title of Cannabis Business Tax System or https://ttc.lacounty.gov/contract-opportunities/. Potential Proposers are responsible for downloading and reviewing the entire RFP. The RFP includes service requirements, proposal content, format requirements, a description of the proposal selection process, and a sample contract. Potential Proposers that meet the minimum requirements, identified in Paragraph 4.0 (Minimum Mandatory Requirements) are invited to submit a proposal to provide the services described in Exhibit A (Statement of Work) of Appendix A (Contract). Potential Proposers should carefully review the RFP and ensure the proposal complies with all RFP requirements. Pursuant to Subparagraph 8.5.8 (Exceptions to Terms and Conditions of Contract and/or Requirements of Statement of Work and Attachments), Proposers must list all exceptions within the proposal submission. Proposers may not take exception to the Standard Terms and Conditions in full and replace the County's Standard Terms and Conditions with the Proposer's. TTC will consider such a proposal to be non responsive. TTC recommends approval of the contract to the most responsive and responsible Proposer. In general, the greater the number of exceptions to the terms and conditions the Proposer lists, and the more substantive the exceptions are, the less responsive the proposal will be deemed. Thus, a Proposer that lists a large number of exceptions in quantity or quality will be scored accordingly. This practice reflects the fact that a Proposer's ability to accept the Standard Terms and Conditions as is, without any exception, is more responsive to the RFP than a Proposer that takes multiple exceptions to the Standard Terms and Conditions. During negotiations, TTC limits the exceptions that can be negotiated to the exceptions listed in the proposal itself. A virtual Mandatory Proposers' Conference (Conference), to answer questions regarding the written specifications of the RFP, will be held at 11:00 a.m. Pacific Time (PT) on May 27, 2026. Proposers that intend to submit proposals must attend this Conference or will be disqualified. To register for the Conference, please email Seeta Azizi, Contracts Section, at contracts@ttc.lacounty.gov no later than 5:00 p.m. PT on Wednesday, May 20, 2026. Proposals must be prepared in accordance with Paragraph 8.0 (Business Proposal Requirements and Evaluation Criteria). Proposals are due no later than 5:00 p.m. PT on Tuesday, July 7, 2026, and must be emailed to contracts@ttc.lacounty.gov. Proposals received after the scheduled deadline will not be accepted.
