Automox renewal (brand only)

The State of California is requesting bids for Automox renewal on a brand-only basis, with bids due June 18, 2026. This is a sole-source procurement restricted to the incumbent vendor, eliminating competitive alternatives.

The scope covers renewal of Automox endpoint management and patching software licensing and services. Pricing and licensing structure are detailed in Exhibit 6, which outlines annual licensing fees based on endpoint quantities and service tier selections. Detailed specifications, configurations, and service level agreements are provided in Appendix A.

Contractors must comply with California's comprehensive information security and privacy requirements, including industry-standard encryption protocols, multi-factor authentication, regular security assessments, incident response procedures, data minimization practices, employee training, background checks for personnel with access to sensitive information, cyber liability insurance, and immediate breach notification to the state.

The brand-only designation maintains standardization across the state's endpoint management and security operations and restricts configuration changes or vendor substitutions. Contract terms include defined performance metrics, service continuity provisions, and technical support throughout the contract term. Billing cycles, payment terms, and cost allocations are aligned with the state's fiscal year requirements.
