1077737 17a-4 ZOOM & WEBEX DATAPARSER - BRAND ONLY

The State of California is conducting a procurement for a brand-specific Zoom and Webex Data Parser solution designed to comply with SEC Rule 17a-4 regulatory requirements. This solicitation (RFB-IS-26200553) seeks a specialized software solution capable of extracting, capturing, and archiving communication data from Zoom and Webex platforms while maintaining strict data integrity and non-rewritable storage standards. The technical specifications mandate real-time data capture, system scalability, API compatibility, and support for both cloud-based and on-premise deployment options. Key technical objectives include maintaining comprehensive audit trails, ensuring non-erasable data storage, and providing robust reporting functionality to support regulatory compliance monitoring. Critical submission deadlines include a response due date of February 3, 2026, with the solicitation originally posted on January 19, 2026. Vendors must demonstrate their solution's ability to integrate with existing enterprise systems, provide comprehensive data parsing across both communication platforms, and meet all 17a-4 compliance requirements for recordkeeping and data retention.

The procurement appears to have a Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) component, suggesting potential set-aside or preferential consideration for certain business classifications within California's contracting framework. The solicitation is specifically limited to brand-only products, which restricts bidding to authorized vendors or direct resellers of established data parsing solutions. Prospective bidders must complete and submit a comprehensive set of required forms outlined in Appendix A, including vendor qualification documents, compliance certifications, and state-specific statutory attestations. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed in the provided documents, the technical complexity and regulatory compliance requirements suggest this is a specialized enterprise-level procurement. Failure to submit all required documentation or meet the stringent technical specifications could result in bid rejection or being deemed non-responsive. Vendors must carefully review all submission requirements, including the Certified Business Enterprise form and the technical specifications, to ensure full compliance with the state's procurement guidelines.
