Firewall Palo Alto

The Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) is seeking proposals for the acquisition of Palo Alto PA‑1420 next‑generation firewalls, including advanced threat protection and Prisma Access agents, to be deployed at its Boston facilities. The solicitation requires the exact part numbers listed, disallows equivalents, and mandates a three‑year contract term with no additional charges for permits, travel, or overhead. The purchase includes two firewall units, associated ATP licenses, and Global Protect Prisma Access agents for all three contract years. The award will be based on evaluation criteria that emphasize quality, price, experience, and responsiveness, rather than lowest cost alone. • Required hardware: 2 × PA‑1420 firewalls (with ATP and Prisma Access modules) • Contract term: 3 years, with optional one‑year extensions at Massport’s discretion • No services (installation, configuration, migration, training) – hardware‑only procurement • Mandatory compliance with Massport’s insurance, audit, and conflict‑of‑interest policies.
