About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The University of Wisconsin-Madison is requesting information on enterprise Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solutions to support federated governance, Zero Trust architecture, and regulated research environments, with RFI responses due July 14, 2026. This is an information-gathering exercise for planning purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation or obligate the University to issue a subsequent procurement or enter into any agreement.

The RFI solicits vendor information regarding cloud-native SASE platforms delivering integrated networking and security services across users, devices, and applications. Required submission elements include executive summaries, detailed responses to technical requirements across seven categories, architecture diagrams, product roadmaps for 2026–2027, and detailed pricing and licensing information including higher education discounts and add-ons. Technical requirements span administrative hierarchy and federated-management capabilities, core SASE functionality, networking and connectivity, identity and device context, security policy controls, availability and performance, and compliance and data protection.

Specific technical inquiry areas include support for hierarchical multi-tenant structures, policy enforcement mechanisms, integration with existing infrastructure, support for legacy and unmanaged devices, identity provider integration, WCAG 2.1 and Section 508 accessibility conformance, and compliance with FERPA, HIPAA, NIST 800-171, and FedRAMP-aligned standards. Questions regarding the RFI are due June 30, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. CDT. Responses should be submitted to Caleb Hall, UW Madison Purchasing Manager, at caleb.hall@wisc.edu. The University reserves the right to modify or cancel the RFI, request additional information from respondents, or conduct interviews.
