i2 ANALYSTS NOTEBOOK CONCURRENT USER SUBCRIPTION & SUPPORT

The State of California is requesting bids for i2 Analysts Notebook concurrent user subscriptions and support services under RFB-IS-27200123-1, with bids due September 9, 2026. A Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) certification form is required as part of the proposal, signaling that California's certified business enterprise program may apply to this procurement.

The scope encompasses concurrent user licenses for the i2 Analysts Notebook platform — a data analysis and visualization tool — along with technical support, maintenance services, and software updates throughout the contract term. Vendors must demonstrate compliance with California technology procurement standards, including system security, data protection, and disaster recovery capabilities. The solution must integrate with existing state systems, meet specified service-level agreements for support responsiveness and system availability, and be scalable to accommodate potential increases in concurrent user licenses. Vendors are expected to document experience supporting similar deployments within state government environments.

Pricing proposals must separately itemize license costs, maintenance fees, and additional support services on an annual or multi-year basis, with all costs included for the specified contract period. The procurement establishes performance benchmarks and service-level expectations to govern vendor delivery and ongoing system availability. The contract includes an initial service period with potential renewal options to extend the agreement based on performance and continued need. Funding will be allocated from the State of California's operating budget.
