Privileged Access Management

The City of Colorado Springs is seeking information through a Request for Information (RFI) for a Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution to enhance its cybersecurity infrastructure. The procurement opportunity, identified as R25-038DS, is focused on acquiring advanced software that provides detailed control, monitoring, and logging of privileged user accounts while preventing direct access to privileged credentials. Potential vendors must demonstrate capabilities in comprehensive cybersecurity management, including single sign-on/multi-factor authentication support, SOC2 certification, cyber security insurance, breach communication processes, and vulnerability testing. The RFI requires vendors to submit detailed company information, municipal experience, and estimated cost quotes through the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System by May 2, 2025, at 4:30 pm MST. Evaluation criteria will likely include technological capabilities, municipal government experience, security framework alignment, and potential cost-effectiveness of proposed solutions.

While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned in the documentation, the RFI is non-binding and primarily serves as an information-gathering mechanism to determine market readiness and potential vendor qualifications. The City of Colorado Springs is located in El Paso County and will use this RFI to assess whether sufficient qualified sources exist to warrant a subsequent formal Request for Proposal (RFP) for PAM services. Although specific budget ranges are not disclosed, the comprehensive nature of the cybersecurity requirements suggests a significant potential investment in advanced technological solutions. The RFI indicates the city is seeking a robust, comprehensive PAM solution that can integrate with existing cybersecurity infrastructure and provide enhanced protection for municipal digital assets. Vendors interested in responding should be prepared to demonstrate extensive expertise in cybersecurity, municipal technology implementations, and sophisticated access management solutions.
