Multi-state information sharing and analysis center membership

The State of New Mexico's Office of Cybersecurity is conducting a sole source procurement for Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC) membership services. The procuring agency is the State of New Mexico, and the services are tailored for state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) governments. The primary goods and services include cybersecurity threat intelligence analysis, real-time threat alerts, incident response support, and coordinated defense resources. Key deliverables encompass threat intelligence analysis products and platform access, virtual briefings, member collaboration and engagement through peer networks and expert consultations, 24/7/365 Security Operations Center access, incident response and forensic services, malicious domain blocking, credential monitoring, and annual cybersecurity self-assessments. The contract term runs from March 1, 2026 through February 28, 2027. Proposals are due by March 1, 2026. The prospective contractor is the Center for Internet Security, Inc., located at 31 Tech Valley Drive, East Greenbush, New York.

The State of New Mexico has issued this procurement as a sole source determination, meaning only one vendor has been identified as capable of providing these services. The Center for Internet Security, Inc. is the sole source contractor designated for this opportunity. The State justifies this determination by asserting that MS-ISAC is the only national Information Sharing and Analysis Center specifically designed for SLTT governments, with current membership spanning all 50 states, more than 18,500 local governments, over 200 tribal entities, and six U.S. territories. The State contends that no other organization, including commercial vendors or federal programs, offers the same integrated combination of expertise, trust, scale, and mission alignment. MS-ISAC was partially funded by Congress through a cooperative agreement administered by CISA and has operated since 2000. The total contract value is $236,000.00 before tax, with an estimated tax amount of $19,328.40, for a total estimated cost of $255,328.40.
