Proofpoint Cloud Email Security Services

The Indian Health Service (IHS) is conducting a Sources‑Sought effort to identify Indian Economic Enterprise (IEE) and Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise (ISBEE) vendors capable of providing Proofpoint cloud‑based email security services for roughly 20,000 Microsoft 365 mailboxes. The effort is not a solicitation; it gathers market information to shape a future contract that will likely be a firm‑fixed‑price, multi‑year IDIQ using the NASA SEWP vehicle. Respondents must be at least 51 % Indian‑owned, registered in SAM, and capable of delivering Proofpoint licensing, premium support, and related implementation services. Responses (including capability statements) are due by 12 PM EST on 6 Nov 2026. • Scope: Provide Proofpoint licensing, targeted‑attack protection, remote syslog forwarding, threat‑response auto‑pull, virtual edition, email relay, and 24/7 premium support for ~20k users. • Eligibility: Must be an IEE/ISBEE (≥ 51 % Indian ownership) and SAM‑registered; include business size, UEI, and any existing GWAC/GSA Schedule vehicles. • Timeline: Questions and submissions due 6 Nov 2026; anticipated contract start 3 Jan 2027 with a 1‑year base period plus four optional 1‑year extensions (up to 5 years total).
