This procurement involves the acquisition of Mimecast email security and archiving subscription services for a three-year contract term. The county is leveraging an existing cooperative purchasing agreement to streamline the procurement process and access pre-negotiated pricing and terms rather than conducting a competitive solicitation.

The estimated total purchase value for the three-year subscription services contract is $522,245.50.

This procurement utilizes an existing cooperative purchasing agreement framework, which may limit the competition to vendors already established under the OMNIA Mesa cooperative contract structure. The incumbent vendor for this procurement is CDW Government, LLC, which will be the primary supplier for the Mimecast services. The notice does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises or minority-owned businesses based on the available information. Mimecast services will require integration with Clackamas County's existing email and security infrastructure to ensure seamless operation and protection of the county's communications systems. The total estimated contract value of $522,245.50 over the three-year period represents the budget allocation for this procurement.
