Florida Memory Elastic Search

The Florida Department of State is seeking a vendor to provide an enhanced search solution for the Florida Memory database, which currently utilizes 20 tables in an Omeka Classic environment to store 284,000 items and 7.1 million element texts. The selected vendor must host the indexed data on a preferred cloud platform, likely Azure, and integrate with the existing Omeka Classic and OpenCart platforms. The Department is requiring at least 3 client references demonstrating similar experience and is amending the proposal submission requirements from 3 copies to 5 copies. The contract term is not specified. The Department has provided responses to 13 vendor questions related to the current database schema, Solr indexing, hosting environment, security requirements, and data update frequency, though the peak concurrent load and search analytics reporting requirements are unknown.

The Addendum does not address any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, nor does it identify any incumbent vendors or current contractors. Additionally, the Addendum does not provide any information regarding possible award values or budget ranges for this opportunity.
