RFP: SJVLS 24-001: Microsoft Licensing Consultant
Purpose
The San Joaquin Valley Library System (SJVLS) seeks proposals for consulting services with the purpose of procuring, supporting, and distributing Microsoft licensing, products, and services to the SJVLS member libraries. SJVLS’s current licensing needs relate to upgrading servers to Windows Server 2022 and determining the appropriate number of CALs needed to be in compliance with Microsoft license terms.
Background
SJVLS serves the public library systems of Fresno, Kern, Kings, Madera, Merced, Mariposa, and Tulare Counties, and the city/district libraries of Coalinga-Huron, Porterville, and Tulare. In all, SJVLS represents 10 library jurisdictions and 106 individual library locations including large urban, medium city/suburban, and small, isolated rural libraries. [See https://www.sjvls.org/library-locations for a map of branch locations.]
SJVLS attempts to provide the member libraries with services that can be performed more economically as a consortium than as individual libraries. These services will be delineated below in the scope of work.
