Identity and Access Management (IAM) Integration

The contract involves the integration of a Secure Access Service Edge platform with established identity providers such as Microsoft Entra ID and Okta to enable seamless single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, and adaptive access policies driven by user identity. This effort is focused on enhancing security posture by aligning network access controls with organizational identity infrastructure, ensuring that authentication and authorization decisions are dynamic, context-aware, and based on validated user attributes. The work requires deep technical compatibility between the SASE architecture and existing enterprise identity systems to deliver consistent, secure access across distributed environments without disrupting user workflows. This subcontract, issued by UW-Madison under the NAICS code 541511 for custom computer programming services, is open for response until July 14, 2026. The solicitation does not specify a set-aside classification or detailed place of performance, indicating flexibility in execution location. The project is part of a broader initiative to modernize access management infrastructure and strengthen cybersecurity resilience through identity-centric control mechanisms. Vendors must demonstrate proven experience with SASE platforms and enterprise identity federation protocols to meet the technical requirements outlined in the solicitation.
