Description
Background
The City and County of San Francisco's Emerging Technologies Team has issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to create a pool of firms that provide products, software, and services powered by emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI). This initiative aims to enhance the efficacy of city services and improve public trust through responsible technology use.
The RFQ is part of a two-year pilot program designed to facilitate easier engagement between the city and emerging technology vendors, allowing for low-risk experimentation before committing to full-scale contracts.
Work Details
The RFQ seeks to establish a Prequalified List ('Pool') of suppliers who can provide various AI-powered solutions. Potential technology solutions may include:
- Document management
- Notetaking
- Video generation for e-learning
- Language translation
- Chatbots
- Image and video analysis
- Predictive analytics
- Anomaly detection
- Police and EMS report generation
- AI bias monitoring
- Enterprise knowledge assistance
- Safety analytics
- Transportation operations intelligence.
Proposers are expected to support city departments in validating sandbox environments for their solutions and assist in pilot testing to confirm readiness for broader deployment. Each department will specify project requirements through mini-RFPs.
Period of Performance
The pool will be valid for two years from its establishment date. Proposals will be accepted on a rolling basis until December 2027.
Place of Performance
Services will be performed within the City and County of San Francisco.
Bidder Requirements
Firms must meet specific minimum qualifications including: completion of the Response Form; having at least two prior deployments of their AI solution; acknowledgment of contract terms; and acceptance of technical requirements specified in the RFQ. Proposers must attest to these qualifications on the Response Form.
