Windows domain

The Town of Groton, located in New London County, Connecticut, has issued Request for Proposal (RFP) 24-04 to upgrade its existing Windows Domain infrastructure to a modern architecture using best practices for Domain, Desktop, and Remote Access services. The current IT environment supports 417 users, 317 Windows 10/11 workstations, and 53 Windows and Linux servers, with user accounts currently synchronized with Azure Active Directory and Office 365 (E1). The procurement seeks a comprehensive solution to modernize the town's technological infrastructure, focusing on implementing best practices for domain management, desktop configuration, and remote access capabilities. The RFP requires vendors to provide a robust solution that can seamlessly integrate with the existing Azure Active Directory and Office 365 ecosystem, supporting email services and multiple LDAP(S)/SSO applications. The solicitation period runs from August 28, 2023, to September 18, 2023, with a vendor Q&A period from August 28 to September 11, 2023. Proposals are due by September 18, 2023, at 2:30 PM EDT, with all submissions to be delivered to Karl Klein at 45 Fort Hill Rd, Groton, CT 06340.

The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types that can respond, making the opportunity open to all vendors. No incumbent vendor information is disclosed, and the RFP does not detail any specific funding requirements or sources. The delivery terms are specified as Free On Board Destination, with payment terms to be determined by the vendor. While the estimated total contract value is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests a significant investment in modernizing the town's IT infrastructure. The solicitation includes two documents: the main RFP document and an Addendum 1, which may provide additional details or clarifications. The successful vendor will be responsible for upgrading the Windows Domain to a modern architecture that supports the town's current user base and technological ecosystem, with a focus on improving domain, desktop, and remote access capabilities while maintaining integration with existing Azure and Office 365 services.
