RFI - Website Redesign

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Office of the Comptroller (CTR) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) regarding the redesign and relaunch of its two primary websites, MAComptroller.org and comptroller.state.ma.us. The RFI seeks information from vendors or organizations with experience in website design and content management system (CMS) implementation to address several critical issues with the existing websites, including lack of SSL, redundancy of domains, accessibility violations, and lack of mobile responsiveness. CTR is interested in understanding the marketplace and potential solutions to address these issues, as well as to inform the development of a future solicitation for a Request for Responses (RFR), Request for Proposals (RFP), or Request for Quotes (RFQ). The RFI provides a detailed list of questions for respondents to address, covering topics such as past experience, project timelines, pricing, and maintenance support. CTR may invite selected vendors to make optional, focused, in-person demonstrations of their experience and offerings. The RFI does not obligate CTR to issue a solicitation or to include any of the RFI provisions or responses in a future solicitation, and responses will become public record.

The RFI is focused on the state of Massachusetts and specifically the jurisdiction of Suffolk County. It does not provide any information on set-aside designations, restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, or any listed incumbent vendors or current contractors. The RFI also does not include any details on existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration, or possible award values or budget ranges.
