FY20 Proofpoint Email Platform

The state of Illinois is seeking proposals for a FY20 Proofpoint Email Platform. This is a procurement for email security, compliance, and management services. The selected vendor will be expected to provide a comprehensive Proofpoint email platform that includes email security, encryption, archiving, and threat protection capabilities. Key objectives include securing the state's email systems against cybersecurity threats, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements, and improving overall email management and administration. Qualified vendors should have extensive experience implementing and supporting enterprise-grade email security and compliance solutions, preferably within a large government environment. Proposals will be evaluated based on the vendor's technical approach, past performance, and cost. The procurement has a due date of September 19, 2019.

This opportunity is open to all qualified vendors. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The state has not disclosed any incumbent vendors or current contractors for these services. The available budget range for this project has not been specified, though the state is likely seeking cost-effective solutions that can meet its email platform requirements.
