RFP 104-24 Data Governance

The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) is issuing an RFP for an Enterprise Data Governance Application to manage the entire lifecycle of data across its disparate data sources. The key requirements include data quality management, metadata management, policy and compliance management, data security and access control, and data lifecycle management. The RFP outlines a competitive procurement process with a pre-bid conference on May 7, 2024, a response due date of June 4, 2024, and an estimated contract execution date of July 1, 2024. The maximum contract duration is 4 years, with three 1-year option periods. The successful contractor will be required to provide cloud computing services, including infrastructure, platform, and software as a service.

The MBTA has a strong focus on supplier diversity and encourages participation from small, minority, women, and other disadvantaged businesses. The evaluation process will consider both technical and price factors, with the goal of selecting the best value proposal. The RFP does not specify an incumbent vendor or a budget range, but the MBTA reserves the right to modify or cancel the procurement at its sole discretion. Respondents must provide the required insurance coverage, including Commercial General Liability, Automobile Liability, Workers' Compensation, Umbrella Liability, Professional Liability or Errors and Omissions, and Cyber Liability.
