BeyondTrust Remote Support Licenses

The Illinois Secretary of State is requesting bids for BeyondTrust Technical Support (Part # RS-CLOUD-EP) and BeyondTrust Remote Support License (Part # RSU-CLOUD), each for a one-year term, with bids due November 12, 2026. The vendor must be an authorized reseller of BeyondTrust products—the sole capability gate.

The initial contract term runs December 1, 2026 through November 30, 2027. The State reserves the right to renew for zero additional years, with a maximum total contract term (initial plus renewals and extensions) not to exceed ten years under 30 ILCS 500/20-60. No pre-submission conference is mandatory. Bids must be submitted electronically through BidBuy.

Award is made to the responsive and responsible bidder submitting the lowest total price. No bid bond or performance bond is required. This procurement is not subject to a small business set-aside. The $15 Minority Contractor Opportunity Initiative fee will be deducted from the first check issued to the awardee. No subcontracting goal or domestic-product preference applies.

The contract may be partially or fully funded with Federal funds; the percentage and dollar amount will be disclosed upon notice of intent to award. The vendor must maintain general commercial liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million annual aggregate, and worker's compensation insurance as required by law. Payment follows the State Prompt Payment Act; invoices must be submitted by July 31 following the fiscal year in which services are performed.

All required forms—Vendor Disclosure or IPG Active Registered Vendor Disclosure and Illinois Standard Certifications—must be completed and submitted in full. Vendors must either be unregistered in the Illinois Procurement Gateway (submitting the Vendor Disclosure form) or maintain an active, unexpired registration (submitting the IPG Active Registered Vendor Disclosure form). For contracts valued over $100,000, disclosure of lobbyists and existing state procurement relationships is required. Pricing must be firm for the contract term.
