Software - Security - Renewal - Varonis Authorized Resellers

The California Department of General Services Information Technology Division is requesting bids for renewal of Varonis security software licenses and related services through authorized resellers, with bids due August 14, 2026. Vendors must be current authorized Varonis resellers capable of providing licensing, implementation, and ongoing support to state agencies.

The procurement covers renewal of existing Varonis software subscriptions and support services across California state agencies. Bidders must demonstrate current authorization from Varonis, pricing competitiveness, technical capability, and service delivery experience with Varonis products in enterprise government environments. Submission of a Certificate of Insurance is required; vendors must also complete an Information Security Form for Software Orders to validate compliance with the state's information security standards and applicable regulations.

Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) certification status may apply as an eligibility consideration under California's diversity contracting programs. Bidders are invited to submit CBE form documentation alongside their bids if applicable.

Pricing structures are based on competitive bids from authorized resellers, with volume discounts and established markups for resellers. Funding derives from individual state agency budgets dedicated to Varonis security solutions. The contract renewal allows incumbent vendors to continue service delivery while enabling new authorized resellers to participate. The state reserves the right to conduct bidder conferences or site visits as needed to clarify requirements.
