Summary
The Ohio Department of Commerce is seeking quotes for FY26 and FY27 for various OPSWAT MetaDefender licenses. Please submit each FY's quote separately. Please see grid line items and below for full specs of each Use Case that we are requesting for. The State Standard Terms and Conditions apply to this solicitation.  No additional terms and conditions will be accepted. Please see the attached "Supplement A" and "Data Security and Privacy Terms".

Project:
The use of portable storage devices such as USB thumb drives and flash drives within the Department of Commerce poses a significant cybersecurity risk. These external media can carry malware, viruses, and other malicious threats that, if introduced into the agency’s systems, could compromise sensitive data, disrupt operations, or enable unauthorized access to the network. This initiative also provides a secure solution to retire the legacy file sharing application, where third-party partners share file with Commerce Users.

Use Case 2 - For Field users , we will deploy the OPSWAT (400 each) MetaDefender Endpoint Plus agents on their PCs.  This will provide immediate local scanning prior to allow access to our systems.

Use Case 3 - By addressing these critical needs, securing support for both in-office and field staff, and a modern secure file sharing application as a suitable replacement for our legacy file sharing application, the Cybersafe Hub project will strengthen the Department’s cybersecurity posture while modernizing its file transfer infrastructure.
Selection will be based on the lowest responsive and responsible quote.

The initial Contract period is expected to run from Contract award through June 30, 2026, with the possibility for FY27 renewal, contingent upon satisfactory performance, continued availability of funding, and all required approvals. Renewals may be subject to approval by the Controlling Board.
