FY25 OIS Rocket Rumba+ Desktop Office on Citrix\WTS Server Maintenance Start: 06/06/2025 End: 06/05/2026 (969593)

The state of Ohio's Department of Job and Family Services (JFS) is seeking to procure server licenses for Rumba Desktop Office on Citrix/WTS, with the contract running from June 6, 2025, to June 5, 2026. This procurement is specifically focused on renewing server licenses that enable multiple users to access RUMBA TSO sessions, primarily to support disaster recovery (DR) exercises on the mainframe using a Jump server. The contract opportunity, identified by the number 969593, was posted on March 28, 2025, with proposals due by April 7, 2025. The primary objective is to maintain critical infrastructure that allows JFS personnel to access and manage mainframe systems through remote desktop environments. Vendors must demonstrate technical capability to provide server licenses that support concurrent user access and meet the state's disaster recovery requirements. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed, vendors will likely be assessed on their ability to provide reliable, secure, and scalable server licensing solutions that integrate seamlessly with existing JFS technological infrastructure.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation are mentioned in the contract opportunity description. The current procurement appears to be a straightforward renewal of existing server licensing, suggesting potential continuity with an incumbent vendor. The budget range and potential contract value are not explicitly stated in the provided documentation. Given the focused nature of the procurement—server licenses for disaster recovery and mainframe access—the contract is likely to be of moderate financial scale, primarily covering software licensing costs. The technology requirement involves maintaining Citrix/WTS server licenses that enable multiple simultaneous RUMBA TSO session connections, indicating a need for vendors with expertise in enterprise-level remote desktop and mainframe access solutions. Interested vendors should carefully review the technical specifications and be prepared to demonstrate their capability to support JFS's specific infrastructure and disaster recovery needs.
