MicroFocus – Rumba & Directory Resource Administrator

The Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) has issued a Purchase Order Request for Proposals (PORFP) for the procurement of MicroFocus Rumba & Directory Resource Administrator software and related services. The scope of work includes providing licenses, installation, training, and ongoing maintenance for the Rumba Enterprise Server and Active Directory Resource Administrator products. The contract will have an initial 3-year term with up to 2 optional 1-year renewal periods. Pricing will be on a firm fixed unit basis for the software licenses and annual maintenance. The PORFP is designated as a Small Business Reserve (SBR) procurement, meaning the award will be limited to certified small business vendors in Maryland. Key evaluation criteria include pricing, responsiveness, and responsibility of the bidder. Proposals are due by October 11, 2023 at 5:00 P.M. local time and must be submitted electronically through the state's eMMA e-Procurement system.

The PORFP does not provide details on any incumbent vendors or the current technology environment. No specific budget range or award value is stated, but the procurement will be a competitive fixed-price contract. There are no additional set-aside requirements beyond the SBR designation for Maryland-certified small businesses.
