About this file
This is a pre-solicitation instructions document issued by the California Department of Technology (CDT), Office of Statewide Technology Procurement (OSTP), regarding the CALNET Managed Cybersecurity Services Invitation for Bid (IFB). The pre-solicitation invites all interested vendors to submit feedback on draft solicitation documents prior to the official IFB release. Vendors are requested to review four exhibit categories: EXHIBIT B (Business Requirements), EXHIBIT C (Technical Requirements across four files), EXHIBIT D (Catalog A across four files), and EXHIBIT F (Glossary). All feedback must be submitted to the designated Procurement Officers by February 23, 2026 at 5:00 PM Pacific Time. The State explicitly seeks vendor input on overly restrictive requirements that could prohibit bidding participation, document ambiguities or inconsistencies, vendor assumptions for proposal preparation, and omitted considerations. Participation in this pre-solicitation feedback period is optional and does not affect eligibility to bid on the subsequent formal IFB.
The pre-solicitation is issued solely for informational and planning purposes and does not constitute a binding solicitation or offer. Vendors are responsible for all expenses associated with responding to the pre-solicitation. The State may request confidential discussions with vendors to be conducted via Microsoft Teams. CDT makes no commitment to incorporate vendor feedback into the final IFB documents. Interested parties must direct submissions to either Saagar Patel, Procurement Officer, or Tien Le, Secondary Procurement Officer, with the IFB number C5-CMCS-G1-26, vendor name, contact information, telephone number, and email address. All written responses to the pre-solicitation may be subject to California's Public Records Act.
