Request for Proposals for Software Development

This document is a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by the National Democratic Institute (NDI) for software development and maintenance services. The RFP aims to identify vendors who can provide approximately 1400 hours of scripting and web application development over a 24-month period. The scope of work includes support in various programming languages such as Python, Perl, PHP, Ruby, Node.js, and JavaScript, among others. NDI seeks vendors with experience in building new software or working with existing code bases, as well as familiarity with specific tools and databases. The document outlines criteria for vendor selection, emphasizing the importance of communication, quality assurance, and adherence to best practices in software development. Proposals must include company history, client lists, and detailed budgets, and are due by May 9, 2024. NDI intends to use a Framework Agreement for this engagement, which establishes rates but does not guarantee payment until specific work is authorized through statements of work.
