About this file

This document is an Emergency Purchase Statement from the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for General Services. It details the emergency procurement of 12,000 Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) licenses, support, and implementation services from Carahsoft Technology Corporation. The purchase is required to address issues identified in a recent confidential security audit and to meet deadlines imposed by the audit. Zscaler's ZPA offering is described as the fastest, most secure access to private apps, services, and OT devices, with native integration to the State of Illinois' enterprise identity and security solutions. Carahsoft is an authorized reseller of Zscaler products and services, and has previously provided similar products and services to the State. The expected start date is April 7, 2023, and the expected end date is July 6, 2023, with an estimated expenditure of $2,297,883.40. The funding for this emergency procurement will be from State appropriated funds.

The solicitation does not include a Business Enterprise Program (BEP) goal, as the State has historically not placed BEP participation goals on packaged software, licensing, and software security procurements. All products will be delivered electronically, and there is no opportunity to develop a subcontracting scope of work given the short timeframe to complete the required updates.

ExplanationForSelectingVendor: Zscaler Private Access offers the fastest, most secure access to private apps, services, and OT devices with the industry’s only next-gen zero trust network access (ZTNA) platform. Zscaler Private Access applies the principles of least privilege to give users secure, direct connectivity to private applications while eliminating unauthorized access and lateral movement. A cloud native service, ZPA can be deployed in hours to replace legacy VPNs and remote access tools with a holistic zero trust platform.

ZScaler is operable for systems which process controlled data including FBI Criminal Justice Information and Federal Taxpayer Information regulated by IRS Special Publication 1075.

Carahsoft is an authorized reseller of Zscaler products and services. DoIT has previously purchased similar products and services from Carahsoft and the vendor can quickly deliver goods & services which are needed given the short period of time. DoIT has to remediate issues identified in a confidential security audit.

ExplanationSuppliesServices: 12,000 Zscaler private access licenses, support & implementation services to meet the deadline imposed by the recent Audit.
TextField1: BEP goal has been set at 0% percent for the contract based on the fact that historically the State has not placed BEP participation goals on packaged software, licensing and software security procurements. All products for cybersecurity and other IT related content procured through this JPMC emergency will be delivered electronically. Digitally delivered software is not the type of product that can be broken up over multiple vendors and due to having only 3 weeks to complete the required updates, there is no opportunity to develop a SOW for subcontracting. This emergency is related to B-35994 which has approxiamtely 80% BEP participation.
