Third-Party Software RFI

The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services is seeking information from qualified vendors regarding best practices, strategies, and capabilities for ensuring the seamless transfer and continued use of third-party software licenses in technology solutions developed and implemented by external vendors. The goal is to ensure that the State can maintain full operational continuity and legal compliance when transitioning ownership of technology solutions. Some key points to consider include: • Unrestricted ownership, access, and use of the entire solution post-contract • Transferability of all third-party software licenses to the State • Continuation of legal terms and conditions originally agreed upon between the vendor and the State • Pricing parity for all third-party software licenses, consistent with what was paid by the vendor Respondents should provide detailed responses to the inquiries, including examples when applicable, and describe their company's history, scope of products and services offered, and locations of operation.
