This RFP is for online protection services for judicial officers and their families. The Judicial Council of California seeks to establish up to three master services agreements for ongoing online privacy protection. Services include finding and removing personal identifying information (PII) from data brokers and people search websites, ongoing monitoring, alerts, reporting, and customer support. Contractors must be US-based, maintain SOC II Type 2 certification, and comply with data security and background check policies. Proposals are due by May 14, 2026. The contract term is anticipated to commence on or about July 1, 2026, for an initial three-year term with three one-year option terms. DVBE and small business preferences are available.
The latest date and time a proposal may be submitted is May 14, 2026, by 1:00 PM PT. The anticipated contract start date is July 1, 2026.
The Judicial Council's standard business payment terms are net sixty (60) days after receipt of a correct invoice. The JBE will make every effort to ensure each correct, itemized invoice received from the successful providers is paid promptly but is unable to pay any late fees or interest payments on invoices past due.
The Judicial Council will evaluate proposals on a 100-point scale. Awards, if made, will be to the highest three scored proposals that also meet the minimum requirements. The evaluation criteria include quality of proposal, quality of work plan, experience, credentials of staff, acceptance of terms and conditions, DVBE incentive, and cost.
To be considered, proposers must have five or more years of experience providing similar services, possess the necessary infrastructure, internal staffing, and systems to begin services immediately, and have and maintain an SOC II Type 2 certification.
The RFP mentions that fraudulent misrepresentation in connection with the DVBE incentive or small business preference is punishable by civil penalties. Failure to meet DVBE commitments will constitute a breach of contract. Failure to comply with post-contract certification requirements may result in withholding payment.
