FY26 - OCTO - Annual Open Text Load Runner Support Renewal (DCAS) ? InterAgency

The District of Columbia's Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO) is seeking an interagency procurement for the annual renewal of Open Text Load Runner Support through the District of Columbia's Automated Systems (DCAS) for fiscal year 2026. This contract opportunity focuses on securing ongoing technical support and maintenance services for Load Runner software, a critical performance testing and monitoring tool used across multiple government agencies. The procurement is specifically structured as an interagency agreement, indicating collaborative participation among various District government departments. The solicitation was posted on December 10, 2025, with a strict submission deadline of December 15, 2025, allowing a short five-day window for potential vendors to prepare and submit their proposals. Prospective contractors must demonstrate comprehensive expertise in enterprise software support, specifically with Open Text Load Runner platforms, and provide detailed documentation of their technical capabilities, service level agreements, and maintenance protocols.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided information, the District of Columbia typically prioritizes local and small business participation in its procurement processes. The contract appears to be a renewal, suggesting there may be an incumbent vendor currently providing these services who could have a competitive advantage. The interagency nature of the procurement implies that the total contract value could be substantial, potentially ranging from $50,000 to $250,000 annually, depending on the complexity of support required and the number of government agencies utilizing the service. Integration capabilities with existing District technology infrastructure will likely be a critical evaluation criterion. Vendors should be prepared to demonstrate seamless compatibility with current DCAS systems and the ability to provide comprehensive technical support across multiple government departments' technological ecosystems.
