Software and Cloud Products and Services

The State of Georgia is conducting an eRFI (Request for Information) Number 99999-SPD0000213 to solicit feedback from potential suppliers regarding Software and Cloud Products and Professional/Technical Services. This eRFI, posted on April 3, 2023, with a response deadline of May 2, 2023, is designed to gather input on the requirements, cost strategy, terms, and conditions of a draft RFP before formal solicitation. The eventual RFP will establish statewide contracts with qualified resellers and publishers capable of providing Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) software and cloud products, along with professional and technical services to authorized users throughout Georgia. The procured solutions must meet the technology needs of state agencies and authorized users across the entire state. A prebid conference is scheduled for Wednesday, April 19, 2023, from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM Eastern Time, conducted via Microsoft Teams (Meeting ID: 265 161 320 575, Passcode: 7AtuGR) with alternative phone access available at +1 470-344-9228 (Conference ID: 957 141 701#). All documentation is accessible through the Georgia Procurement Registry at https://ssl.doas.state.ga.us/gpr/index, and technical support is available at 404-657-6000.

The available documents do not specify set-aside designations, restrictions on organizational types, incumbent vendors, or budget ranges for this opportunity. However, the eRFI process indicates that the eventual RFP will target qualified resellers and publishers with demonstrated capability to deliver COTS software and cloud products across multiple categories and service offerings. Organizations interested in responding should note that this current phase is informational in nature, designed to refine RFP requirements based on supplier feedback before the formal competitive bidding process begins. Interested parties are encouraged to attend the prebid conference on April 19, 2023, to gain additional insight into the State's requirements and submission expectations. Further details regarding set-asides, award values, and specific contract requirements will likely be disclosed when the formal RFP is released following this feedback collection period.
