72-PJTH26087 Addendum 2.pdf

This is Addendum 2 to RFP 72-PJTH26087 issued by the University of North Carolina at Wilmington (UNCW) Purchasing Services for a cloud-based Web Application Firewall (WAF) solution and implementation services. The addendum extends key procedural deadlines due to a high volume of vendor questions. The deadline for the State to post responses to vendor questions has been extended to July 6, 2026. The bid opening date has been extended to July 20, 2026, at 2:00 PM ET, and the contract award date has been extended to August 19, 2026. The project involves replacing UNCW's existing on-premises F5 environment with a cloud-based WAF solution that provides web application security, load balancing, TLS termination, traffic management, and reverse proxy functionality for both on-premises and cloud-hosted applications. Implementation services include proof of concept support, migration planning, comprehensive testing, staff training, and transition to production operations, with integration required into UNCW's existing security monitoring tools.

Proposers are required to submit one properly executed copy of Addendum 2 with their original proposal response; failure to do so may result in disqualification. The proposal submission must include a cover letter, title page, completed execution pages, vendor proposals addressing all specifications, and required attachments including pricing information, HUB Supplemental Vendor Information, Location of Workers Utilized by Vendor, Certification of Financial Condition, and OMB Standard Form LLL certification documents. Justin Hewett serves as the purchasing agent for this procurement. The addendum does not address pricing terms, set-asides, or funding sources, as those details are contained in the primary RFP documents.
