Grants Management System Platform, Development, and Implementation Services

The State of Florida, through the Executive Office of the Governor (EOG), is issuing an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) for Grants Management System Platform, Development, and Implementation Services. The contract aims to identify a qualified vendor to provide a unified statewide process for federal grants management reporting and transparency, with robust monitoring and analysis capabilities across the grant life cycle. The solution must promote accessibility and awareness of grant opportunities, maximize the award of federal funding, and function as a one-stop shop for state and federal grants. The technology platform must be highly configurable with minimal vendor or IT support required. The contract term is anticipated to be four years, with the possibility of two optional two-year renewals. Key deliverables include implementation services, ongoing operations and maintenance support, and the option for additional services as needed. The procurement process includes a pre-response meeting, a deadline to submit questions, public opening, evaluation, and negotiation phases, with the anticipated contract execution date of July 15, 2024.

The ITN is open to all qualified vendors, with no set-aside designations or restrictions mentioned. The evaluation criteria include the solution requirements, solution preferences, and the vendor's qualifications, as well as the proposed pricing. While the EOG has not specified a budget amount, the pricing for deliverables, software and licensing, operations and maintenance, and additional services will be used to negotiate the final contract value. The ITN does not identify any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it provide details on existing infrastructure or technology that may require integration.
