TABLEAU RENEWAL (BRAND ONLY)

The contract is a renewal for Tableau software licensing under a request for bid (RFB-IS-26200795) issued by the Department of Internal Services of Los Angeles County, targeting technology services and software subscription delivery. The award will be made using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, meaning the vendor with the lowest compliant bid will be selected without trade-offs between cost and non-cost factors. The scope includes the provision of Tableau 8 Core Base (Server) and Tableau Signature Success Base, with delivery requiring full compliance with County policies, including prevailing wage laws (California Labor Code § 2.33), child support obligations, public records retention, and use of recycled materials. All deliverables must be new, unused, and current models, and the vendor must provide clear identification of the manufacturer, part number, and packaging type in quotations. Performance will be evaluated annually under the County’s Quality Assurance Plan, with acceptance taking place at County-designated locations, and non-conforming items subject to rejection. The contract period runs from May 6, 2026, to May 5, 2027, with payment terms tied to monthly invoicing submitted by the 15th of the following month, and prompt payment within 15 days for Local Small Business Enterprises. Vendors must submit a comprehensive package through the Vendor Self Service (VSS) portal by the deadline of April 21, 2026, and failure to include mandatory exhibits—such as organizational affidavits, certified payroll records, vaccination compliance, and socioeconomic certifications (LSBE, DVBE, CBE)—will render a bid non-responsive. Insurance requirements include Technology Errors & Omissions coverage of at least $2 million, and vendors must comply with NIST SP 800-88 for data sanitization of electronic media. No formal FAR clauses are referenced; instead, local custom provisions govern warranty, cancellation, bid protests, and authorization to bind. The County retains full authority over inspection, acceptance, and contract termination for cause, with record retention required for three years post-payment. An annual payment cap of $200,000 per vendor applies without prior Board of Supervisors approval, and no contract value is specified due to unpopulated pricing fields in the bid template.
