Requirements Lifecycle Management

The City of Spokane issued RFP 5923‑23 to procure a comprehensive Requirements Lifecycle Management (RLM) solution—including software, implementation, training, and ongoing support—to replace its disparate tools (Word, Excel, SharePoint, etc.) with an integrated platform that supports waterfall, agile, and hybrid delivery models. The award was made to Perforce, with a fixed‑price, five‑year contract that may be renewed by mutual agreement. The contract requires the vendor to provide a SaaS or on‑premises system, integrate with existing Microsoft technologies, deliver professional services (configuration, data migration, “train‑the‑trainer”), and meet stringent security, accessibility, and public‑record requirements. • Scope: All‑in‑one RLM software plus implementation, training, and support. • Term: Fixed‑price, 5‑year term (July 2023 – July 2028), renewable. • Evaluation: Technical (40 %), Management (30 %), Cost (30 %).
