RFQ C5611962

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), through its Enterprise Information Systems (EIS), is 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 involves integrating the State Authorized Risk Assessment Tools for Sex Offenders (SARATSO) database into a specialized web-based system that will support online certification applications, payment processing, and record management for Provider Agencies and Treatment Providers. Key deliverables include a secure platform capable of protecting Personal Identifiable Information (PII) and Criminal Justice Information (CJI), managing certification requirements, processing online registrations, generating reports and certificates, and supporting evolving certification processes. The Request for Quote (RFQ) C5611962 was released on May 27, 2025, with critical dates including questions due by May 30, 2025, agency responses to questions on June 4, 2025, and final solicitation responses due by June 9, 2025. Evaluation criteria will focus on responsiveness, meeting administrative and technical requirements, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

The procurement includes specific restrictions on vendor qualifications, mandating that bidders must be headquartered and doing business within the United States, with subcontracting limited to 40% of the contract value. There are preferences for small businesses and disabled veteran-owned businesses in the evaluation process. The proposed contract period spans from June 30, 2025, through June 29, 2026, with an option for one additional one-year extension. The maximum contract value is set at $250,000.00, and funding is subject to state budget approval. The CDCR reserves the right to reject any or all quotes if deemed in the best interest of the department. The solution must be highly specialized, capable of integrating with existing CASOMB and SARATSO systems while providing robust security measures to protect sensitive information. Potential vendors should be prepared to demonstrate comprehensive capabilities in developing a secure, user-friendly web application that meets the specific needs of sex offender management and certification tracking.
