RFQ C5611962

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) Enterprise Information Services has issued a Request for Quote (RFQ #C5611962) seeking a cloud-based Software as a Service (SaaS) and Database as a Service (DBaaS) solution to replace the current California Sex Offender Management Board (CASOMB) web application. The procurement targets a specialized system that will integrate the State Authorized Risk Assessment Tools for Sex Offenders (SARATSO) database, focusing on comprehensive features including online certification applications, payment processing, user role management, automatic notifications, and report generation. The solution must be fully compliant with Criminal Justice Information Security (CJIS) policies and potentially FedRAMP certified. Key deliverables include a robust web-based platform that can manage certification applications, handle online payments, and provide comprehensive record management for sex offender provider agencies and treatment providers. The RFQ was released on 5/27/2025, with responses due by 6/9/2025, and a proposed contract period from 6/30/2025 through 6/29/2026, with an option for one additional one-year extension. Evaluation will focus on selecting the lowest responsive and responsible bidder that meets all administrative and technical requirements.

The solicitation restricts responding firms to those headquartered and doing business within the United States, with a maximum of 40% subcontracting allowed. Bidders must complete mandatory documentation, including a Bidder Declaration, and comply with small business and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) procurement requirements. The total contract value will not exceed $250,000, providing a clear budget framework for potential vendors. The procurement appears to target replacement of an existing technology infrastructure, suggesting potential integration challenges with current systems. While no specific incumbent vendor is mentioned, the RFQ indicates a need for a comprehensive technological solution that can seamlessly replace and enhance the current CASOMB web application. Successful vendors will need to demonstrate extensive expertise in developing secure, compliant cloud-based solutions for government agencies, with particular emphasis on criminal justice and sex offender management systems.
