Implementation and Migration to Xperience by Kentico

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) is seeking a vendor to implement and migrate its on-premises Kentico v.12 Content Management System (CMS) to an on-premises Xperience by Kentico platform through an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) 2500. The procurement covers migrating three websites (external, internal, and CJNET) while maintaining content integrity, ensuring a seamless user experience, and providing robust security for sensitive law enforcement information. Key deliverables include content and template migration for approximately 75 templates, setting up development and production environments, integrating with Active Directory, and conducting comprehensive testing including functional, integration, performance, user acceptance, and security testing. FDLE requires user and technical documentation, backup and disaster recovery documentation, and training for up to 25 staff members. The solicitation will be administered through the Vendor Information Portal (VIP), with technical replies due by December 3, 2024, at 2:30 PM ET. The evaluation will focus on respondents' relevant experience, understanding of technical requirements, and proposed migration strategies, with an anticipated negotiation phase scheduled for January 7-10, 2025, and an intent to award posting expected on January 14, 2025.

The ITN does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. FDLE will provide the necessary Xperience by Kentico licensing and is not interested in custom software development, instead seeking a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) licensed solution. The existing infrastructure includes three websites running on Kentico 12, with integrations including Google Analytics and Vimeo. No incumbent vendor is explicitly mentioned, and FDLE has not established a specific budget or budget range for the project. The selected vendor will be prohibited from offshoring any work or data associated with the contract and must comply with vendor certification requirements, including using the E-Verify system and not participating in a boycott of Israel. The contract is expected to begin upon execution and remain in effect for one year or the duration of the project, with FDLE reserving the right to negotiate with one or more respondents and potentially request Best and Final Offers (BAFOs).
