FC-008-26 Anomali ISAC Renewal

The Maryland Department of Information Technology is conducting a Purchase Order Request for Proposals (PORFP) numbered FC-008-26 for the renewal of Anomali ISAC software licenses, specifically targeting cybersecurity threat intelligence sharing capabilities across state agencies. The procurement covers ThreatStream Community software, which will enable secure collection, management, and sharing of cyber threat intelligence, to be deployed at 100 Community Place in Crownsville, MD. The solicitation encompasses three functional areas: Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Software, Installation and Training Services, and Manufacturer's Software Maintenance. Proposals are due on April 9, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with pricing required to remain valid for 90 days after the submission date. Bidders must be authorized Master Contractors under the COTS 2012 contract (060B2490021) and must be authorized Anomali resellers, with a requirement to include a screenshot of the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The procurement will support a 12-month subscription from August 1, 2025, to July 31, 2026, covering 300 total member groups with unlimited users and additional capabilities such as TAXII support and custom integration.

The contract opportunity is not designated as a small business set-aside and appears to be limited to pre-authorized Master Contractors with specific manufacturer credentials. The solicitation targets the Maryland Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MD-ISAC) and involves replacing or renewing an existing cybersecurity threat intelligence platform. While specific budget details are not explicitly stated, the quote includes provisions for 5 additional member organizations, TAXII support, and a community edition package, with payment terms of net 45 and annual billing. Anomali will provide professional services including system security plan development, concept document review, and integration support. The end user is identified as Darren Welch from the State of Maryland, located at 45 Calvert Street in Annapolis. The procurement appears to be a continuation of an existing cyber threat intelligence sharing initiative, with the goal of maintaining and expanding the state's cybersecurity information exchange capabilities.
