Vetting of Draft IFB for Cloud Assessment, Planning & Migration

The California Department of Technology (CDT) is seeking qualified firms to provide cloud assessment, planning, and implementation services through a solicitation for bids. The purpose is to enable state agencies to assess their IT portfolios and migrate suitable systems to CDT's CalCloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) offering. The assessment services will focus on the customer's technical infrastructure, including systems, applications, functionality, tools, and utilities, while the implementation services can only be used to migrate systems to CalCloud IaaS. The contract term is effective upon approval through February 26, 2019, with options to extend for two additional 12-month terms. Bidders will be evaluated primarily on their qualifications and experience, including areas such as migrating legacy systems to new platforms, working with cloud infrastructure, and IT system/network security.

The solicitation does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The draft Invitation for Bid (IFB) does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it provide any information on existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The solicitation also does not include any details on possible award values or budget ranges.
