Cybersecurity Product

Yamhill County is seeking a comprehensive cybersecurity solution through a Request for Proposals (RFP) for network detection and response services, targeting network traffic monitoring, email monitoring for malicious behavior, and third-party integrations to be managed by the County Information Technology department. The procurement opportunity is open to vendors capable of providing professional project management services, including system configuration, implementation planning, and timeline development. Evaluation of proposals will be conducted using a 100-point scoring system that considers project team qualifications (5 points), cybersecurity industry experience (10 points), implementation methodology (5 points), support structure (5 points), training approach (5 points), system uptime history (5 points), functional requirements compliance (50 points), and cost proposal (15 points). The RFP requires vendors to submit a digital proposal via email by February 21, 2025, at 3:00 PM PST, with an anticipated Notice of Award date of April 30, 2025. The initial contract term is set for three years, and no pre-proposal conference will be held.

The RFP does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including general liability, automobile liability, and professional liability with minimum limits of $2 million per occurrence and $4 million aggregate. Proposals must include separate pricing for implementation costs, annual licensing fees, maintenance projections, and a not-to-exceed amount for the three-year contract term. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the provided documentation, vendors should prepare comprehensive proposals that demonstrate their ability to meet the county's cybersecurity needs. The procurement covers Yamhill County, which is part of the broader Washington County and includes the Mcminnville City jurisdiction, suggesting a localized but potentially scalable cybersecurity solution for the region's government infrastructure.
