Subject: [Rfp-announce] RFP for Open Source DBA Services

The IETF Administration LLC is soliciting bids for the 'Open Source DBA Services' RFP.

Overview:

The IETF currently uses MariaDB as the core database for internally developed applications and has active plans to migrate to PostgreSQL. It is likely that at some point we will introduce PostgreSQL multi-master replication for high availability and a suitable open source NoSQL database for document storage. We seek a contractor with one or more highly experienced open source Database Administrators to assist us on an ongoing basis and with two initial migration projects. We expect this assistance to include scheduled maintenance, formally scoped projects and ad-hoc advice and consultancy. The initial term of the contract will be for three years with the option to renew for a further three year term by mutual agreement.

Timeline:

15 October 2021 RFP Issued
29 October 2021 Questions and Inquiries deadline
05 November 2021 Answers to questions issued and RFP updated if required
12 November 2021 Bids due
