I built a product for my local government, they love it. It's been in use for a year. How do I start branching out?

So basically, I have a friend who works for local government, and one day she was complaining about this archaic paper system they had, and how it didn't store data well, no proper workflow, etc., etc. So, I solved her problem. I built a basic ticket system app, sent it to her, she sent it to her boss, and since then it has actually been adopted for use by the city. I've donated a license for the software to them (and also have it in writing that I'm not responsible for any problems or legal troubles etc., this is very bootstrapped) and I'm going to be treating them as a permanent loss le

痛点：地方政府部门仍在用纸张或老旧系统处理工单和案件，缺乏数据存储、流程管理和可扩展性。

目标用户：地方政府部门、市政案件/工单管理团队，以及其他使用纸质或老旧系统的公共机构。

证据：the city contacted me to tell me that a contract of theirs for another separate system is expiring and that I should submit something via RFP (which is actually huge, because that means they literally want to pay me to expand my product). It initially launched with a testing team of 4 people, and now it's up to 30 concurrent users multiple times a day.

变现：通过RFP转政府合同；按席位/年费SaaS、私有化部署+维护费、定制开发与支持。先用免费标杆客户换案例，再向同类市政机构销售。

MVP：2周内把现有系统产品化为多租户/可配置工单与案件管理：角色权限、表单流转、搜索、导出报表、审计日志、简单部署脚本；同时准备RFP响应模板和合规说明。

竞品：Accela、Tyler Technologies、Granicus、CivicPlus、OpenGov、ServiceNow、Zendesk/定制工单系统

摘要：开发者一年前为地方政府朋友做了一个工单/案件管理系统，已被城市采用，并发用户从4增至30，用户反馈节省时间。当前城市主动通知另一个系统合同将到期，建议其通过RFP提交方案，并明确愿意付费扩展产品。这是从免费标杆客户转向政府合同变现的机会，但需应对采购合规和成熟govtech竞品。
