RSA securid, FOB & soft tokens

The State of Maine Office of Information Technology is requesting quotes for RSA SecurID authentication products over a two-year contract period from February 1, 2012 through January 31, 2014, with quotes due January 24, 2012.

The State seeks pricing for RSA FOB SecurID hardware tokens (model SID700-6-60-36 with 3-year battery life) and RSA SecurID software tokens (model SID820-8-60-36 for smartphones and laptops with 3-year licenses). Pricing is requested at two volume tiers—50 units and 100 units—for each product type. The State will order tokens on an as-needed basis throughout the contract term using established pricing, with all deliveries required within one week of order placement.

In case of tied bids, preference is given to in-state bidders or those offering commodities produced or manufactured in Maine. Pricing must exclude Federal and Maine State Sales and Use Taxes. Vendors must submit responses electronically by the closing date; late submissions will not be considered. All transportation charges, including freight and express delivery, must be prepaid and borne by the contractor unless otherwise specified in the bid. Delivery time must be stated in definite terms. The State reserves the right to reject any or all bids, waive formalities or technicalities, accept individual items or groups as deemed in its best interest, and increase or decrease quantities by up to 10 percent. Awards will be made to the lowest responsible bidder offering the best value to the State, with consideration given to quality, conformity with specifications, delivery dates, and ultimate cost. Cash discounts of 20 days or longer, computed from the date of delivery at destination after final inspection and acceptance or from receipt of the correct invoice, will be considered in contract awards.
