InfoBlox Renewal

Baltimore County and the Maryland State Police (MSP) Quartermaster Division are conducting a Purchase Order Request for Proposals (PORFP) for an InfoBlox software and services renewal under the COTS 2012 Master Contract. The procurement seeks comprehensive network security and management solutions, specifically targeting BloxOne Threat Defense Advanced, Trinzic Software Bundle Subscriptions, and associated maintenance services for a one-year term from 6/22/2025 to 6/21/2026. Vendors must be authorized InfoBlox resellers and submit proposals electronically through the eMaryland Marketplace Advantage (eMMA) system by May 8, 2025, at 2:00 PM. Key deliverables include software licenses for 2,000 protected users, three 1415 and two 825 software bundle licenses, Trinzic Reporting and Analytics subscription, Premium Maintenance Enterprise support, and an education instructor-led training subscription. The evaluation will be based on the most advantageous offer, considering pricing and specific evaluation factors, with proposals required to remain valid for 90 days after the submission date. Performance will be located at 2101 Reisterstown Road in Pikesville, MD, and all equipment must be new and unused.

This procurement is specifically designated as a Small Business Reserve (SBR) solicitation, which limits participation to certified small business vendors under Master Contractor status for the COTS 2012 contract (060B2490021). Potential respondents must comply with COMAR 21.05.13.06 procurement regulations and provide detailed documentation including manufacturer's suggested retail pricing, estimated shipping dates, and proof of authorized reseller status. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the technology subscription suggests a significant investment in network security infrastructure. The contract covers multiple software licenses, maintenance packages, and support services across various InfoBlox product lines, indicating a robust technological upgrade for Baltimore County's network management capabilities. Although incumbent vendors are not specifically identified, the detailed specification sheet suggests this is likely a renewal or expansion of existing technological infrastructure, with precise serial numbers and activation IDs provided for each proposed component.
