Sites and Building Enterprise License

The Kansas Department of Commerce, through the Department of Administration's Office of Procurement and Contracts, is issuing a Request for Proposal for a Sites and Building Enterprise License—a cloud-based, web-based geographic information system (GIS) SaaS platform designed to support economic development efforts across Kansas. The procurement seeks a qualified vendor to provide an enterprise software solution capable of marketing industrial sites and commercial properties while tracking user engagement metrics. Key deliverables and services include the web-based GIS mapping tool itself, user licenses and administrator licenses with specified access limits, implementation services, data migration support, training, and ongoing technical support. The evaluation will consider cost, proposal completeness and adequacy, bidder's understanding of project requirements, compliance with RFP terms, experience providing similar services, staff qualifications, and proposed methodology. Vendors must demonstrate a minimum of five years of continuous active participation in the economic development software industry. The RFP was posted on April 15, 2026, with written questions due by close of business on April 29, 2026, directed to Procurement Officer Amber N Lemery (Amber.lemery@ks.gov, 785/296-2374). Proposals are due by June 2, 2026, at 2:00 PM Central Standard Time, with no pre-bid conference scheduled. The contract period extends from final signature through three years, with options to renew for two additional 12-month periods, and pricing must remain firm throughout the contract term and any renewals.

The State of Kansas accepts bids from vendors that may qualify for eligible preference categories, including Disabled Veteran Owned Business or Certified Business designations if supporting documentation is provided. All bidders must submit required compliance documentation with their proposals, including a current Tax Clearance Certificate from the Kansas Department of Revenue, an Immigration Reform and Control Act Certification form, a Sexual Harassment policy acknowledgment form, and a Boycott of Israel certification form. No pre-existing incumbent vendor or current contractor information is identified in the solicitation documents. Bidders must comply with all Kansas statutory requirements and restrictions on telecommunications equipment from covered foreign countries. The State reserves the right to reject any or all proposals, waive informalities, and award to the lowest responsive bidder or based on the Director of Purchases' determination of best interest to the State. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the solicitation materials. Payment will be made on a Net 30 basis from receipt of goods or services via Procurement Card, electronic funds transfer, or traditional warrant payment, with pricing structures requiring detailed line-item descriptions for all services and access levels.
