DESCRIPTION

The agency is conducting market research to identify an automated software or SaaS solution for optimizing Amazon Web Services (AWS) Relational Database Service (RDS) Reserved Instances. The objective is to introduce continuous, algorithmic management of reserved instances to reduce monthly cloud expenditure, prevent underutilization, and eliminate unnecessary on-demand costs.

The solution should automatically identify and execute reserved instance purchase opportunities based on historical usage and forecasting, with purchases governed by predefined business rules and approval thresholds. It should provide real-time dashboards covering reserved instance coverage, utilization, monthly savings, remaining commitments, and forecasted savings opportunities, along with chargeback or showback reporting by business unit or application.

The tool should integrate seamlessly with AWS Organizations and AWS Cost Explorer, support unlimited AWS accounts, and fit within existing FinOps and cloud operations processes. Additional capabilities should include alerts for expiring reserved instances and changing workload patterns, reduced risk of underutilized commitments, and improved forecasting accuracy for future purchases. Questions must be submitted by August 10, 2026.
