Request for Proposal: Secure Services Edge (SSE) Solution

The State of Oregon is seeking a comprehensive Secure Services Edge (SSE) solution that consolidates multiple security functions—including Zero‑Trust Network Access, Secure Web Gateway, Cloud Access Security Broker, Data Loss Prevention, Digital Experience Monitoring, and related services—into a single, cloud‑delivered platform for statewide use. Vendors must submit a detailed technical, pricing, and compliance proposal covering a five‑year term, meet extensive mandatory requirements (e.g., 99.99 % uptime, sub‑100 ms latency, robust logging for CJIS/FTI compliance, end‑to‑end TLS 1.3 encryption, and full API‑driven management), and provide a cost‑breakdown for component‑level and bundled pricing. The procurement includes multiple attachments (price proposal template, requirements matrix, accessibility compliance, disclosures, and addenda) and requires adherence to Oregon’s public‑record, trade‑secret, and disadvantaged‑business outreach regulations. • Mandatory technical requirements include high‑availability (99.99 % uptime), disaster‑recovery (RTO ≤30 min, RPO ≤15 min), support for ≥50,000 concurrent users, and comprehensive security controls (encryption, key‑management, audit trails, ZTNA, CASB, DLP, etc.). • Vendors must submit a net‑price proposal (post‑discount) covering a five‑year term, with separate one‑time and recurring fees, professional‑services rates, and future‑upgrade pricing. • The contract will be a 5‑year Price Agreement with optional renewals up to a total of 15 years, includes a 30‑day termination notice, 45‑day invoice payment terms, and a 2 % vendor‑collected administrative fee.
