The document is a Request for Information (RFI) from the City of Palm Bay's Procurement Department regarding the procurement software they are seeking. The software should cover contract management, solicitation posting, and vendor registry. The City currently uses Onvia Demandstar and Public Purchase for formal solicitations, while end-user departments handle quotes under $25,000. They desire a single provider solution for contract management, solicitation posting, and vendor registry, with a preference for eBidding capabilities. The software should be fee-free for vendors, offer training, have redundancy features, and comply with Florida Public Records statutes. Minimum requirements for contract management, solicitation posting, and vendor registry elements are detailed. Interested providers are requested to submit information by a specified deadline, including vendor contact details, existing contracts, solution type, hardware requirements, and how their solution meets the City's requirements, along with cost details.
