Evaluation criteria will prioritize administrative compliance, lowest net cost, and alignment with software requirements similar to the Mitchell1 ProDemand Software reference model. The solicitation includes specific set-aside designations and preferences for Small Business (SB) and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participants, with California-certified small business suppliers receiving a 5% bid evaluation preference and DVBE participants earning an incentive of 3-5% based on their participation level. Vendors must complete several mandatory forms, including a DWR RFQ Cover Sheet, Bidder Declaration (GSPD-05-105), and a unique Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) Disclosure form. The contract will span from May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2028, with the first year's payment to be made in advance upon receipt of a DWR-approved invoice and subsequent years invoiced annually under Net 45 days payment terms.
