The South Carolina Department of Administration's Division of Information Security (DIS) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for a Cribl Suite Cloud Enterprise data management solution, specifically targeting Richland County. The procurement seeks to establish a five-year contract from 07/19/2025 to 07/18/2030 for comprehensive cloud-based enterprise software services, including Cribl Stream Hybrid, Cribl Lake, and Search subscription services. The solicitation requires contractors to provide annual licensing with an initial allocation of 1,479,467 credits in Year 1, increasing to 1,756,672 credits in subsequent years, along with two Silver Resident Services Consultant sessions and three Cribl User Conference Passes annually. Offers are due by 07/03/2025 at 11:00 am, with an anticipated award date of 07/09/2025. The bid will be awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, with unit prices governing the evaluation process. Vendors must deliver an annual renewal report to both DIS and Cribl, and the procurement aims to modernize the state's data infrastructure while achieving operational efficiency and cost savings.

The solicitation includes specific requirements for vendor participation, mandating registration in the state's vendor system and compliance with minority business participation requirements. Vendors must adhere to state information security standards and be prepared to provide detailed pricing for the entire five-year licensing agreement. The contract allows for potential future credit purchases in increments of 18TB, 20TB, and 25TB beyond the initial contract quantities, providing flexibility for expanding technological needs. While the exact total contract value is not explicitly stated, the procurement is designed as an enterprise-level solution with comprehensive cloud services. Minority-owned businesses, small businesses, and disadvantaged business enterprises are encouraged to participate, though specific set-aside percentages are not detailed in the provided documentation. The solicitation suggests a competitive bidding environment with opportunities for vendors to propose pricing for both standard and additional service credits throughout the contract term.
