Good Afternoon Mary,

To answer your questions on this request. the requested items do not exist.

The product is an open source application with no cost to the agency or the
residents. Since there is no cost, there would be no invoices, contracts,
or RFPs. Since no RFPs exist, there would be no bidder responses as well.
The application is made available to all residents and public safety
agencies for free, for use at their discretion.

Thank You
Charles Goodwin
