BeyondTrust

The Maryland Department of Human Services is issuing a Purchase Order Request for Proposal (PORFP) for BeyondTrust Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) software and maintenance services under contract 060B2490021. The specific procurement includes three BeyondTrust Appliance U Series-VM licenses and annual maintenance renewals for multiple software licenses: 250 Privilege Management for Windows Server licenses, 150 Privilege Management for Windows Server GPE licenses, 1,000 Privilege Management for UNIX/LINUX Server licenses, and 1,400 Password Safe Per Asset licenses. The solution will provide password-less authentication for accessing MDTHINK servers through a Jump box interface for Linux and Windows environments, with session recording capabilities. Proposals will be evaluated based on price and conformance to the scope of work, with a specific focus on technical compliance and licensing requirements. Key dates include a question submission deadline of March 7, 2025 at 5:00 PM EDT, and a proposal due date of March 11, 2025. The maintenance period is scheduled from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, with delivery to occur at 849 International Drive in Linthicum Heights, Maryland.

This procurement is limited exclusively to Master Contractors currently awarded under the Commercial Off-the-Shelf Software (COTS 2012) contract, with additional specific requirements that bidders must be authorized BeyondTrust resellers. Vendors must include a screenshot of Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) with their proposals and submit bids via email with password protection. The contract is not designated as a Small Business Reserve opportunity, and there are no specific set-aside provisions for disadvantaged enterprises. Proposals must comply with several federal and state requirements, including certifications regarding investments in Iran, lobbying activities, and federal fund usage. Specific compliance documents include the Federal Funds Addendum, which outlines eight key federal compliance requirements and prohibitions on using federal funds for telecommunications equipment from certain Chinese manufacturers. While a specific award value is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive license and maintenance package suggests a significant procurement investment for the Maryland Department of Human Services.
