Westchester County's Bureau of Purchase and Supplies is conducting a Request for Bid (RFB-WC-25098) for cybersecurity software, specifically targeting Prophecy Software's Snare Central products. The procurement seeks to acquire software licenses and professional services, which include 1000 Enterprise agent subscriptions, 5000 Desktop agent subscriptions, and 50 Syslog source subscriptions. Two QuickStart packages are also included - one for Snare agents and another for Snare Central - designed to facilitate software installation, configuration, and implementation. The bid is scheduled to be due on May 6, 2025, before 2 PM, with sealed bids to be submitted to the Bureau of Purchase and Supplies at 148 Martine Avenue, Room 713, White Plains, NY 10601. Bidders are expected to provide comprehensive pricing in US currency, with the county emphasizing rapid delivery of the software following contract award. Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) will be the payment method, with terms of 2% 10 Net 30, and the county reserves the right to award the contract by individual items, grouped items, or lot. The procurement explicitly encourages participation from service-disabled veteran-owned, minority-owned, and woman-owned businesses, indicating a commitment to diverse vendor engagement. The contract includes provisions allowing other New York State political subdivisions to potentially utilize the bid pricing within 12 months of the award, expanding the potential scope of the procurement. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the comprehensive nature of the software licensing and professional services suggests a significant investment in cybersecurity infrastructure. The county will not pay federal, state, or local taxes and has included mechanisms for potential price adjustments related to federally imposed tariffs. Vendors are required to itemize any applicable import duties, demonstrating the county's thorough approach to financial transparency and cost management in the procurement process. The bid's focus on Prophecy Software's Snare Central products indicates a specific technological preference and potential integration requirements with existing county IT infrastructure.
