DESCRIPTION

A government authority in Sacramento, California is seeking vendors to provide emerging technology services, focusing on cybersecurity, data integrations, AI transparency, and public-facing digital content.

Cybersecurity efforts require comprehensive risk assessments for all entities involved in manufacturing products, performing technical functions, or accessing city networks and systems. This includes prime contractors, subcontractors, and resellers.

Vendors must ensure data integrations utilize city-approved APIs or data connectors, prohibiting direct database access unless explicitly authorized. Data pipelines into the city's UDP (Snowflake) must use approved patterns such as Fivetran, dbt, or direct connectors, and all written data must contain detailed provenance metadata.

Compliance with Sacramento's AI transparency ordinance is mandatory, involving close collaboration with city departments to address published AI standards and ensure ongoing monitoring for bias, disparate impact, and model performance drift. Additionally, all public-facing digital content and custom portals must prioritize accessibility and adopt short, clear, plain-English third-level domain names aligning with official dot-gov guidelines.
