RFP-200L-26, Cyber Range for CNM

Murray State University is seeking a vendor to design, build, and support a modern cyber‑range platform for its College of Nursing & Health (CNM). The solution must support up to 128 concurrent users, provide a rich library of pre‑built security and IT training scenarios (including optional ICS/OT labs), and enable faculty to create and modify scenarios through intuitive tools. The vendor will deliver hardware (or recommend on‑premise hardware), software, installation, configuration, migration of ~7 TB of existing VMware labs, training for up to nine staff, and a minimum three‑year support contract with an option to extend to five years. Proposals must include detailed technical design, licensing models, cost breakdowns, and compliance with Kentucky security and privacy statutes. • Deliver a scalable on‑premise (preferred) or cloud‑based cyber‑range meeting the specified concurrency and performance benchmarks. • Provide scenario‑development tools, a pre‑built library (network security, forensics, cloud security, AI, etc.), and optional ICS/OT modules. • Include one‑day training for faculty/IT staff, full documentation, and ongoing business‑hour support for at least three years.
