SALESFORCE LICENSE RENEWAL (BRAND ONLY)

The solicitation RFB-IS-27200032 is for the renewal of a Salesforce license under a brand-only arrangement by the Internal Services Department of California, with performance located in Los Angeles. The primary focus of this procurement is not on pricing or technical specifications for the software itself, but rather on ensuring compliance with local diversity and inclusion policies through the Community Business Enterprise (CBE) certification process. Respondents are required to submit Exhibit 6, a CBE Information form in Excel format, detailing the ownership demographics of their business including race, ethnicity, and gender, and certifying whether the business is owned by minorities, women, disadvantaged individuals, disabled veterans, or LGBTQQ individuals. The form must include the name of the certifying agency and an acknowledgment that any false, misleading, or incomplete statements may lead to proposal rejection at the Director’s sole discretion. There is no specified contract value, pricing structure, delivery schedule, or technical service requirements outlined, as the renewal appears contingent on successful certification and documentation of socioeconomic compliance. The solicitation does not reference any formal FAR clauses, small business size standards, UEI or CAGE codes, payment details, inspection criteria, or evaluation factors beyond the completeness and accuracy of the CBE form. Submission is due by July 29, 2026, and while the place of performance is identified as Los Angeles, California, there are no specific instructions on how to submit, what portal to use, or any packaging, marking, or invoicing requirements. The procurement is driven by local policy objectives to promote equitable participation in public contracting, with no indication of federal compliance obligations beyond the stated certification requirements.
