MongoDB Enterprise Advanced

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has issued a Request for Quote (RFQ) for MongoDB Enterprise Advanced software licenses, specifically targeting the D12 Transportation Management Center (TMC) in Orange County. The procurement seeks 128GB RAM MongoDB Enterprise Advanced with US Government Support, with an "all or none" award methodology to the lowest responsive bidder. The solicitation requires comprehensive documentation including the Competitive Informal RFQ form, Bidder Declaration Form (GSPD-05-105), GenAI Disclosure & Factsheet Form (STD 1000), and California Civil Rights Laws Certification. Key dates include a February 14, 2025 deadline for questions at 3:00 PM Pacific Time and a quote submission deadline of February 21, 2025 at 3:00 PM Pacific Time. Delivery requirements specify a 1-3 day turnaround after order receipt, with shipping directed to the D12 TMC in Irvine, California. Quotes must remain valid for 60 days from the submission date, and the state reserves the right to request optional amendments for additional quantities subject to mutual agreement.

The solicitation includes several enterprise preferences and compliance requirements, notably a 5% Small Business (SB) or Microbusiness (MB) preference with a maximum $50,000 limit per bid. While no mandatory Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation goals exist, a DVBE incentive program offers up to 5% preference based on participation levels. The procurement also incorporates the State Agency Buy Recycled Campaign (SABRC) Program, requiring contractors to complete a Recycled Content Certification form. Bidders must submit comprehensive documentation demonstrating compliance with California civil rights laws, particularly for contracts exceeding $100,000. The contract awards will be made within 45 days of the scheduled contract award date, with potential extensions allowable by bidder agreement. Although no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the solicitation suggests this is a significant technology procurement focused on supporting ongoing software applications at the transportation management center.
