RFI for Data Breach and Credit Monitoring Services

The State of Idaho and NASPO ValuePoint have issued a Request for Information (RFI) regarding Data Breach and Credit Monitoring Services, with a closing date of December 20, 2017 at 5:00 p.m. Mountain Time. This RFI seeks commercial insight on available products and services across four primary service categories: Risk Assessment and Mitigation, Incident Response, Breach Coach (Advisory), and Notification and Credit Monitoring. The solicitation is designed to gather market information rather than solicit binding proposals, and services would be provided to participating states on an as-needed basis, encompassing pre-breach activities, incident response services, and post-breach services. Respondents are requested to provide information on commercial products and services, possible contractual arrangements, potential issues, industry standards, pricing structures, and implementation considerations. No specific evaluation criteria, pricing requirements, set-asides, funding amounts, or contract term details are outlined in this information-gathering solicitation, as the primary objective is to inform future procurement decisions by the State of Idaho and NASPO ValuePoint member states. All interested parties should access the RFI posting and any addenda through the State of Idaho's e-Procurement system, IPRO, at https://purchasing.idaho.gov/iprologin.html, and direct all inquiries to the State of Idaho. This is explicitly an information-gathering tool only, and no award will be made from this RFI.

No specific set-aside designations, restrictions on organization types, incumbent vendors, or existing infrastructure integration requirements are identified in this RFI. As this is a courtesy posting designed purely to gather commercial market insight rather than to solicit formal bids or proposals, no award values or budget ranges are specified. The solicitation is open to all commercial vendors and service providers capable of offering products and services within the four identified service categories. The RFI does not establish contractual obligations or commitments from the State of Idaho or NASPO ValuePoint member states, but rather serves as a preliminary market assessment tool to inform the development of future procurement strategies and potential cooperative purchasing agreements among participating states.
