8-Appendix 7 HECVAT.pdf

This is an appendix document from the University of Texas at Austin's Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Operational Readiness services in Texas. The appendix establishes the Higher Education Cloud Vendor Assessment Tool (HECVAT) as the evaluation framework the University will utilize when assessing third-party products and services that will access, process, or host University data. The HECVAT instructions and licensing information are available through the University's security portal at https://security.utexas.edu/risk/appreg. Vendors submitting proposals must be prepared to complete and submit the HECVAT assessment as part of the qualification evaluation process.

No additional pricing terms, set-asides, incumbent information, funding details, or contract term specifications are addressed in this appendix document, as its sole purpose is to notify vendors of the assessment tool requirement and direct them to the relevant resources for completing the evaluation.
