About this file
This document is a "How to Use This Contract" guide for the Digital Security Solutions State Term Contract (43230000-24-STC) issued by the Florida Department of Management Services. It provides instructions for state agencies within Florida's Enterprise on utilizing a digital security solutions contract. The contract is specifically designed for Florida state agencies and eligible users as defined by Rule 60A-1.001 of the Florida Administrative Code.
The contract covers three primary service categories: Content Delivery Network, Security Operations Platform, and Secure Access Service Edge (SASE). State agencies are required to use MyFloridaMarketPlace (MFMP) as the preferred procurement system, which involves directly contacting contractors for quotes, creating requisitions, and manually adding contractors to Request for Quotes (RFQs). Agencies must ensure they only request quotes from contractors offering the specific service categories needed and are encouraged to reference the contract's Scope of Work when creating RFQs. The document emphasizes that while state agencies are required to purchase from state term contracts, they may explore alternate contract sources if better savings can be realized, while still following proper procurement methods.
