Integrated Development Environment Test Automation and DevOps Software License

The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (CPA) is issuing a Request for Offers (RFO) to solicit qualified vendors for an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) Test Automation and DevOps Software License and Related Services contract. The objective is to obtain the services that represent the best value for CPA and the State of Texas. The contract will include subscription software licenses, implementation services, and training services, with an initial term from November 28, 2024 through November 27, 2025, and options to extend for up to three additional one-year periods. Key requirements include that the software must be Selenium-based, able to execute automation tests in CLI mode, and have built-in integrations with Jira and Git. Respondents must provide a detailed description of implementation, training, maintenance, and support services. Offers will be evaluated based on past performance, qualifications, compliance with specifications, and cost.

The contract opportunity spans multiple jurisdictions in Travis County and the City of Austin. CPA has determined that subcontracting opportunities are probable, and respondents must complete a HUB Subcontracting Plan to demonstrate their good faith effort to utilize Texas certified Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs). The incumbent vendor is Acachi LLC, providing Katalon products and services, and CPA has indicated there are no current challenges. While CPA has not established a specific budget, respondents are expected to offer the best pricing to represent the best value.
