Background:
ProofPoint is the county email appliance that secures emails against spam, malware, phishing and non-malware threats. Since its initial installation in June 2016, several additional modules have been added to enhance and automate email security. These new modules greatly increase response time to emerging threats.
This purchase is exempt from the County's competitive bidding requirements pursuant to Section 22.3-302(13) of the Alachua County Procurement Code, which permits the County to purchase Supplies or Services under Contract with cooperatives, including cooperatives that the County participates in accordance with Article 10, Section 22.10-201 (Cooperative Purchasing Authorized), providing the vendor extends the same terms and conditions of the Contract to the County; however, since the dollar amount of the purchase exceeds the purchasing authority of the Procurement Manager, this Purchase Order is being submitted for Board consideration and approval.
