Information Security Questionnaire

The State of Wisconsin Investment Board (SWIB) is conducting an Information Security Questionnaire procurement to establish a pre-qualified vendor pool for short-term staff augmentation projects in information security. The solicitation aims to create a list of contractors who can provide ad-hoc information security services, with vendors required to complete a comprehensive questionnaire demonstrating their capabilities and expertise. Key deliverables will likely include flexible staffing support for information security initiatives, with vendors expected to have robust technical skills in cybersecurity, risk management, and related domains. This opportunity remains open-ended, with no specific submission deadline, allowing vendors continuous opportunity to qualify for the pool. The primary contact for this procurement is Rhiannon Friedel, SWIB's Senior Procurement Specialist, who can be reached at rhiannon.friedel@swib.state.wi.us or 608-261-0181.

While the procurement documents do not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or vendor restrictions, interested vendors will need to complete several mandatory attachments, including a Public Records Acknowledgement, Representations and Warranties document, and a rate card template. The procurement appears designed to be inclusive, potentially allowing both small and large information security consulting firms to participate. Vendors will likely be evaluated based on their technical capabilities, experience in information security, rates, and ability to provide flexible staffing support. Though specific award values are not detailed in the provided documentation, the open-ended nature of the contract suggests potential for ongoing, project-based work. The associated documents, including a Master Services Agreement and the Information Security Questionnaire, indicate a comprehensive vetting process for vendors seeking to join this professional services pool.
