Managed Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) Service

The contract seeks a provider to deliver a managed Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) service designed to ensure continuous monitoring, real-time threat detection, automated incident response, and comprehensive forensic analysis across all endpoints within the statewide network operated by California’s Statewide STPD. The solution must be capable of protecting critical infrastructure by identifying malicious activity, triggering swift automated countermeasures, and enabling detailed post-incident investigations to mitigate risks and strengthen security posture. It is structured as a subcontract under NAICS code 518210, indicating it relates to data processing, hosting, and related services, and is intended to support the state’s broader cybersecurity objectives. Proposals must be submitted by September 15, 2026, and the service will be performed across California’s network infrastructure, with no specific city or zip code designated for performance location. The solicitation is open to qualified vendors through the California eProcurement platform, and while no set-aside designation has been specified, bidders are expected to demonstrate technical expertise in enterprise-grade EDR platforms, incident response capabilities, and proven experience supporting government networks. The contract does not list a point of contact, suggesting communication will be managed through the official procurement portal, and awarded contractors will operate under the oversight of the California agency responsible for statewide IT security.
