Cybersecurity Incident Response Solution

The Florida Department of Management Services (DMS), on behalf of the Florida Digital Service (FL[DS]), is seeking a contractor(s) to provide a Cybersecurity Incident Response Solution to minimize cyber threats, detect and respond to incidents, and protect critical systems and data within the state's digital infrastructure for the Department and other eligible customers on a statewide basis. The solution must meet specific requirements across areas like threat monitoring and detection, incident response and management, vulnerability management, and compliance. Deliverables include incident response services, reporting, and remediation. Key objectives are to enhance the state's cybersecurity posture and protect critical digital assets. Responses are due on June 5, 2023, with an anticipated award on June 9, 2023. The initial contract term is three years, with options to renew for up to an additional three years.

The procurement is being conducted under three existing Alternate Contract Source (ACS) contracts covering cloud solutions, software value-added resellers, and technology products and services. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The Department does not anticipate reviewing quotes or responding to questions from vendors who are not authorized to do business through the identified ACS contracts. Pricing must be at or below the rates in the applicable ACS contract, with options for waterfall pricing models and enterprise-wide pricing. The Department is also seeking cost savings information for advance payment. No specific award values or budget ranges are provided, but the RFQ is open to all potential FL[DS] customers, including Leon County and the City of Tallahassee.
