The procurement seeks to acquire Jamf cloud licensing and support services for Mac and iOS devices, with a contract period from September 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026. Specific licensing requirements include 2,200 Jamf Connect licenses, 800 Jamf Pro for iOS cloud seats, 2,200 Jamf Pro for macOS cloud seats, 150 iOS and iPadOS licenses, 100 macOS device subscription licenses, 100 additional Mac authentication licenses, and 1 tier 3 support package. The bid is due on August 11, 2025, at 3:00 PM, with all submissions required to be made electronically through the University's online Bid Portal. Vendors must complete mandatory onboarding through the University's PaymentWorks supplier registration portal and demonstrate compliance with various state regulations, including cybersecurity training programs and cloud computing service certifications. The solicitation appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but vendors must comply with numerous state regulatory requirements. Potential contractors will need to adhere to Texas government code provisions and understand that UTA may terminate the contract or withhold payment for non-compliance. The procurement is structured with potential pricing flexibility and may consider vendors with existing contracts through UT System accredited Group Purchasing Organizations. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the licensing quantities suggest a substantial investment in device management technology. Additional notable requirements include compliance with the university's tobacco-free campus policy and potential integration with existing technological infrastructure. The comprehensive nature of the licensing and support services indicates this is a significant technology procurement aimed at enhancing device management and security across the university's Apple product ecosystem.
