S22652327 PIA Optical On-Line System (POOLS) Website Redesign Services

The California Prison Industry Authority (CALPIA) is seeking a vendor to provide website redesign services for its PIA Optical On-Line System (POOLS). The scope of work includes a comprehensive redesign to modernize and enhance the functionality of the POOLS system, which currently has limited capabilities and poses security risks. The selected vendor will be responsible for providing technical lead, data migration, configuration, interface development, and training services, with CALPIA managing the implementation using an Agile sprint approach. Proposals are due by 3:00 PM PT on April 4, 2024, and CALPIA will evaluate them through a multi-round process including demonstrations, presentations, and a potential proof-of-concept phase. The initial contract term is through March 14, 2025, with an option to renew for one additional year.

The RFP does not grant small business or veteran-owned business preferences, and CALPIA will not accept alternate contract language from the selected vendor. Pricing should include all costs associated with the redesign, as well as hourly rates for additional services. The solution must comply with state information security policies and data ownership requirements. CALPIA has not listed any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and the RFP does not provide a specific budget range for the project.
