Granicus subscription renewal (brand only)

The State of California issued a Request for Bid (RFB-IS-26200873-1) on April 21, 2026, for the renewal of a Granicus subscription focused on brand-only services. This procurement seeks to renew the existing Granicus subscription agreement, which provides software and services related to government communications and digital engagement. The scope of work encompasses maintaining existing Granicus platform capabilities for the state government, with the contract renewal addressing ongoing subscription licensing and support services to ensure continuity of the brand-related functionalities currently in use. The renewal maintains the existing Granicus provider relationship and reflects current subscription pricing applicable to California's brand-only needs, with pricing structured to reflect the brand-only license tier rather than comprehensive platform services. The submission deadline for bids is May 5, 2026, and interested vendors should review the complete RFB documentation, including Appendix A and Exhibit 6, which contain the scope parameters and itemized cost details necessary for preparing competitive responses.

While the available documentation does not explicitly detail set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types, the procurement appears to be structured as a renewal of an incumbent service relationship with Granicus, suggesting that the incumbent vendor status may be relevant to the evaluation process. The financial and administrative sections of the RFB contain specifics regarding pricing terms, funding sources and amounts, and budget allocations, though these details are contained within the exhibits and appendices referenced in the solicitation. The contract maintains integration with the existing Granicus software infrastructure already deployed within California state operations. Specific award values or budget ranges are outlined in Exhibit 6 (2).xlsx, which presents itemized costs associated with the renewal and subscription fees necessary for budget planning and procurement purposes. Potential bidders should obtain and thoroughly review all contract documentation, including the primary RFB document, Appendix A, and the pricing exhibit, to understand the complete scope, financial requirements, and any special conditions applicable to this Granicus subscription renewal.
