Tableau License

The Ohio Department of Development, Office of Information Technology has issued a Request for Quotations (RFQ) numbered DEV25OIT23 for procuring three (3) Desktop Professional Tableau Licenses. The procurement seeks to secure software licenses for a one-year term spanning from May 1, 2025, through April 30, 2026. Vendors are required to submit itemized quotes exclusively through the OhioBuys procurement platform, with a strict submission deadline of April 23, 2025, at 1:00 pm. The RFQ specifies that quotes must explicitly reference any applicable contract numbers on both the submission and subsequent invoices. Potential vendors must carefully review the requirements and ensure complete compliance with the detailed specifications outlined in the procurement document.

This procurement opportunity is specifically designated as an MBE (Minority Business Enterprise) Set-Aside Procurement, which means only State of Ohio certified Minority Business Enterprise vendors are eligible to submit quotations. As a tax-exempt government organization, the Department of Development requires vendors to acknowledge this status during the quoting process. While the specific budget range is not explicitly detailed in the available documentation, the procurement is for three desktop professional software licenses, suggesting a relatively modest contract value. The MBE set-aside requirement significantly narrows the pool of potential respondents to those meeting specific minority business certification criteria established by the State of Ohio. Vendors interested in this opportunity must not only meet the technical requirements for Tableau licensing but also possess current, valid MBE certification to be considered for the contract.
