Jordan School District (JSD), the fourth largest school district in Utah serving 57,800 students and 6,456 employees, is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for a one-year renewal of Silverfort Monitoring & Protection Platform licenses and support services, effective April 17, 2026, through April 16, 2027. The procurement seeks an authorized reseller to provide support and maintenance for the existing cybersecurity infrastructure, which includes one Silverfort "Essential" Monitoring Platform license (part # SF-ESS-7000) for organizations with 6,001-7,000 employees that delivers identity infrastructure discovery, monitoring, Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM), Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR), audit logs, risk reporting, and SIEM integration capabilities, along with 240 units of the Silverfort Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) enforcement module (part # SF-MFA-250) for the 151-250 user tier. Bidders must be authorized resellers of Silverfort products with no substitutions permitted, and pricing must remain fixed for the entire contract term with JSD receiving immediate benefit of any market price decreases or available discounts. The evaluation process occurs in three stages: Stage 1 determines responsiveness to mandatory minimum requirements, Stage 2 evaluates technical compliance with the scope of work, and Stage 3 awards the contract to the lowest responsive bidder from a responsible vendor. Questions must be submitted by February 17, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. MST through the Utah Public Procurement Place Bonfire portal, with bids due February 19, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. MST; all bids must be submitted electronically through the U3P Bonfire platform and are not accepted via email, fax, or hard copy.
