About this file

This is a Hosted System Questionnaire form (Attachment H) issued by the City of Portland, Bureau of Technology Services, designed to evaluate vendor systems for potential procurement by various City bureaus implementing a mobile comprehensive security technology system for City-owned properties. The questionnaire serves as a standardized assessment tool to gather detailed information from contractors regarding their hosted solutions' technical specifications, security posture, compliance capabilities, and operational support structures. The form does not specify a response deadline, due date, site visit schedule, bidder's meeting, or contract award timeline, as it functions as a vendor qualification and evaluation document rather than a formal solicitation notice.

The questionnaire addresses multiple critical evaluation areas without establishing pricing terms, set-asides, incumbent vendor preferences, or specific funding requirements. Contractors must provide comprehensive responses across endpoint requirements (client software, browser compatibility, technology dependencies), system security requirements (TLS protocols, SSO authentication, data protection certifications including SOC2 Type 2 and FedRAMP), product environment details (licensing, patch management, failover capabilities), and data governance provisions (U.S. data residency, City data ownership, access controls, and data comingling practices). The form requires contractors to disclose their product's country of origin, customization capabilities, backup responsibilities, vendor support models, and service outage management procedures, enabling the City to assess vendor alignment with municipal cybersecurity standards and operational requirements for the mobile surveillance system deployment.
