Appendix A Purchasing Required Forms (1).pdf

This document is Appendix A Purchasing Required Forms for the State of California's RFB-IS-27200297 procurement. The solicitation seeks renewal of Zscaler software licenses under a brand-only restriction, limiting bidding to Zscaler products exclusively. Responses are due November 5, 2026. As a renewal of existing licenses, the contract continuation supports the state's ongoing security infrastructure requirements. Bidders must submit the Appendix A purchasing forms as mandatory conditions of bid responsiveness and contract award eligibility, along with a Certificate of Insurance under Attachment B and completion of Exhibit 6, the Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) form documenting CBE status.

The procurement requires bidders to comply with Exhibit 7, an Information Security & Privacy Requirements Exhibit that is binding throughout the contract period and establishes mandatory data encryption, authentication, system monitoring and logging, and audit requirements for the Zscaler solution. Bidders must provide documentation, audit reports, and compliance certifications as evidence of adherence, with the state conducting regular assessments to verify ongoing compliance. The brand-only nature of this solicitation restricts competition exclusively to Zscaler, effectively limiting vendor options. No specific set-asides are identified in the available documentation, and pricing terms, contract duration, and renewal options are not detailed in this forms appendix.
