RFQ for Security Software Solutions

The University of Chicago’s Center for Translational Data Science (CTDS) is issuing an RFQ for security software solutions to strengthen its cybersecurity posture. The solicitation seeks one or more of the following capabilities: SIEM and/or SOAR platforms, endpoint protection for laptops and cloud environments, and comprehensive cloud security services (including inventory, baseline configuration, container security, identity, and network controls). All proposed solutions must be FedRAMP‑compliant where feasible. Vendors may respond to any subset of the requirements, and proposals are due within a narrow window in early December 2021. • Provide a SIEM and/or SOAR solution to aggregate and automate threat detection and response. • Deliver endpoint protection covering laptops, endpoints, and cloud workloads. • Offer cloud‑security services covering inventory, baseline configuration, workload/container security, identity, and network controls. • Ensure FedRAMP compliance for any cloud‑based components. • Respond by December 3, 2021 (5 p.m. CST) after questions are submitted by December 1 (4 p.m. CST).
