The procurement, designated as RFB-IS-26200281, focuses on renewing existing cybersecurity software protection services for the state's information systems infrastructure. The primary deliverables include annual software maintenance, license renewal, and continued access to Trellix's Enterprise Network Security Storage Protect software solution. The contract appears to be a direct renewal process, suggesting an established technology relationship with Trellix. The solicitation was posted on October 8, 2025, with proposals due by October 23, 2025, indicating a relatively compressed procurement timeline of approximately two weeks. The attached Information Security & Privacy Requirement Exhibit suggests the state will require comprehensive security protocol adherence, technical specifications compliance, and robust data protection mechanisms from the selected vendor.

The contract seems to be a continuation of an existing technology infrastructure, indicating Trellix is the incumbent vendor for the state's current ENS Storage Protect software environment. The procurement documents suggest this is an operational technology refresh aimed at maintaining current cybersecurity capabilities. Although precise budget ranges are not specified in the provided materials, enterprise software maintenance renewals for state-level cybersecurity solutions typically range from tens of thousands to several hundred thousand dollars annually. The solicitation includes technical appendices and exhibits that outline detailed information security requirements, suggesting a comprehensive and structured approach to software maintenance and renewal.
