FY'26-RFQ-octo-digicert license renewal-authorized dcss suppliers only

The District of Columbia Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO) issued Request for Quotation FY'26-RFQ-OCTO-DIGICERT LICENSE RENEWAL on March 27, 2026, for the renewal of DigiCert licenses. This procurement is restricted to authorized District of Columbia Small and Local Business Enterprise (DCSBE) suppliers only. The primary objective is to secure continued licensing services for DigiCert digital certificates, which are essential infrastructure components for the District's cybersecurity and authentication operations. While specific deliverables and detailed service specifications are not provided in the available information, DigiCert license renewals typically encompass SSL/TLS certificates, code signing certificates, and related digital credential management services necessary to maintain secure communications across District systems and applications. The submission deadline for quotations is March 31, 2026, providing potential vendors with a four-day window from the posting date to prepare and submit their responses.

This procurement opportunity is exclusively available to authorized DCSBE suppliers, representing a significant set-aside restriction that limits competition to District-certified small and local business enterprises. Organizations interested in responding must hold current DCSBE certification status to be eligible for consideration. No incumbent vendor information or budget range for this license renewal was disclosed in the available procurement documentation. Potential respondents should verify their DCSBE authorization status with the District and ensure compliance with all certification requirements prior to submission, as non-compliant proposals will likely be deemed ineligible regardless of pricing or technical merit.
