Imprivata renewal

The State of California has issued Request for Bids (RFB-IS-26200939-1) for the renewal of Imprivata software licensing and maintenance services, a critical identity and access management solution currently deployed across state systems. This procurement seeks to renew existing licenses and maintenance for Imprivata single sign-on and access management software, ensuring continuity of authentication and access control infrastructure essential to state operations. The solicitation was posted on May 7, 2026, with a bid due date of May 22, 2026, providing potential bidders with a 15-day response window. The contract deliverables include renewal licenses for specified Imprivata software modules, user seat allocations, system support services, software updates, and technical maintenance necessary to sustain current infrastructure performance. Key objectives include maintaining operational continuity of the existing Imprivata deployment, ensuring seamless service transition from the previous contract term, and meeting defined service level agreements and performance metrics. Required qualifications and evaluation criteria are detailed in Appendix A (Revision 6-6-2024), which establishes the pricing framework, licensing specifications, implementation timelines, and contractual terms governing service renewal, along with incumbent contractor considerations and renewal pricing adjustments based on the state's standard information technology budget allocation.

Bidders must submit a Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) Form as a mandatory component of their bid package, indicating that California's procurement process incorporates business enterprise certification requirements that may influence contractor eligibility and scoring considerations. The incumbent vendor for this renewal is Imprivata, Inc., and this solicitation represents a continuation of the existing software agreement rather than an open competitive procurement for new services. Bidders are required to provide a Certificate of Insurance prior to contract execution, demonstrating appropriate insurance coverage and financial responsibility throughout the contract performance period. The renewal nature of this procurement indicates that the Imprivata software infrastructure is currently operational across state systems, and the contract award will ensure uninterrupted access management services without requiring new system integration efforts. While specific budget ranges or award values are not detailed in the available solicitation materials, funding is allocated through the state's information technology budget, with pricing based on Imprivata's standard license renewal rates and maintenance fees for the specified software modules and user counts. Contract renewal options may be available as determined by the state's operational needs and future budget availability.
