REVISED Attachment B - RFB 758 2700000066-REV09112026.docx

This is a revised bid sheet for Request for Bid (RFB) 758 2700000066 issued by the State of Kentucky for Network Security Software, Hardware, and Services. The bid sheet establishes evaluation criteria across three primary scoring categories with a maximum total of 1000 points. Bidders are required to complete three specific tables without adding items, bidding alternates, equivalents, or substitutions. The solicitation encompasses 23 manufacturer brands including Algosec, Broadcom, Certes, Check Point, Digicert, Elastic, Endgame, Entrust, Exabeam, Forcepoint, Fortinet, Mandiant, Microsoft Exchange, Okta, Open Text, Palo Alto, Proofpoint, Rapid 7, RSA, Tenable, TrendMicro, Varonis, and WebInspect, requiring bidders to provide minimum percentage discounts off manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) for hardware, software, support/maintenance, training, and services.

The evaluation methodology allocates 600 maximum points (120 points per column) for minimum percentage discounts across the five product and service categories with scoring based on the average discount percentage across all 23 manufacturers. An additional 200 maximum points are designated for services hourly rates (fully loaded, not-to-exceed rates) for implementation services, technical consulting, and break/fix services, scored on the average of the three rates provided. The final 200 maximum points are awarded based on best delivery time in business days after receipt of order. The bid sheet format requires bidders to enter specific pricing and delivery information in designated fields with clear instructions that responses must adhere strictly to the prescribed tables and format requirements.
