Notice Details

The New York City (the “City”) Mayor’s Office of Management and Budget (“OMB”) intends to enter into sole source negotiations with Quickbase to procure QuickBase Platform annual subscriptions for three years. The OMB disaster recovery consultant ("Consultant") has been utilizing Quickbase as its data/file management platform and created links to the City’s Financial Management System. Because the annual subscription cost is paid for through the Consultant who is considered the “owner” of these Quickbase Platform annual subscriptions even though the database is managed by a combination of Consultant and OMB staff. In line with a directive from the Budget Director to decrease reliance on consultants for services that can and should be wholly owned by the City, OMB would like to take ownership of the federal grants files on Quickbase allowing OMB to move towards the Citywide goal of cloud-based systems for the maintenance of its records.  To achieve the above, OMB intends to enter into a contract with Quickbase for annual subscriptions to own, access, and manage the files.
