About this opportunity
The Alaska Division of Legislative Audit is issuing Request for Proposals 26-33-03 to procure cybersecurity assessment services from qualified information technology security and audit firms. The procurement seeks comprehensive cybersecurity reviews of three select State of Alaska IT systems: MyAlaska (single sign-on and electronic signature platform), MyRnB/Employer Services/eReporting (retirement and benefits management systems), and the New DAIS (Permanent Fund Dividend system). Assessments will be conducted using the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework version 2.0 and Center for Internet Security Critical Security Controls version 8.1, with deliverables including asset identification, risk and threat assessments, vulnerability assessments, network architecture evaluation, application security testing, database security review, identity and access management assessment, data protection verification, cloud security evaluation, policy review, physical security assessment, security awareness training evaluation, monitoring and logging analysis, third-party risk management review, and business continuity/disaster recovery planning assessment. Work will be performed on a hybrid basis with approximately 30 percent onsite in Juneau and Anchorage and 70 percent remote, with contract initiation on June 1, 2026, draft reports due September 14, 2026, and final reports due September 30, 2026. The evaluation criteria assign 35 percent weight to understanding of project and methodology, 25 percent to project management plan, 15 percent to firm and staff experience and qualifications, and 25 percent to contract cost. A pre-proposal teleconference is scheduled for March 13, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. Alaska Time, and sealed proposals must be received by March 31, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Alaska Time. Minimum qualification requirements mandate that supervisory personnel and technical leads hold advanced IT security certifications with at least seven years of experience performing cybersecurity assessments of governmental organizations, and the contractor must not be suspended or debarred by the federal government.
Offerors meeting Alaska residency and business criteria are eligible for an Alaska Bidder Preference of five percent applied prior to cost-to-points conversion. No incumbent contractor is identified for this new solicitation. Cost proposals must be submitted as lump-sum, all-inclusive hourly rates broken down by system and inclusive of all direct and indirect costs, travel, lodging, and per diem for Alaska work. Contractors must maintain Workers' Compensation Insurance, Commercial General Liability Insurance with a minimum $1,000,000 combined single limit, and Commercial Automobile Liability Insurance with a minimum $500,000 combined single limit. Funding is contingent on approval by the Legislative Budget and Audit Committee, with funds available through June 30, 2026, and post-June availability dependent on legislative appropriation. The Notice of Intent to Award is anticipated for April 21, 2026, with contract execution anticipated by May 4, 2026. Prospective offerors must register in writing with Procurement Manager JC Kestel (LAA.Procurement@AKLeg.gov; 907-465-6705) to receive subsequent amendments, with failure to register potentially resulting in rejection of proposals.
