AI overview

The Board of Water and Light (BWL) in Lansing, Michigan, is seeking proposals from qualified vendors to perform a comprehensive cyber security vulnerability assessment of its information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) systems for the year 2026. The assessment will be conducted in accordance with the detailed Scope of Work (SOW) provided as an attachment to this RFP. Vendors are expected to identify, analyze, and report on vulnerabilities across BWL's network infrastructure, applications, and industrial control systems, with the goal of strengthening the utility's overall security posture.

The key dates for this solicitation are as follows: the RFP was issued on July 2, 2026, with a question cut-off date of July 13, 2026, at 3:00 PM ET. Final proposals must be submitted by July 24, 2026, at 3:00 PM ET. All proposals must be submitted electronically through the IonWave portal; submissions via email will not be accepted. BWL reserves the right to reject any or all proposals, waive irregularities, and accept proposals in whole or in part as deemed in its best interest.

The scope of work includes a full vulnerability assessment of BWL's digital environment. While the SOW document (CVA SOW Rev 2026.docx) contains the specific technical requirements, typical expectations for such assessments include network scanning, penetration testing, configuration review, and risk analysis of both corporate IT and utility-specific OT systems (e.g., SCADA, metering, distribution automation). Vendors must be capable of delivering detailed findings, remediation recommendations, and a final report. The contract will be governed by BWL's standard Terms and Conditions for Consulting Services, which are also attached.

Additional bid documents include Instructions to Bidders, the Iran Economic Sanctions Act Affidavit of Compliance form, a Supplier Bid Response Tutorial, and an iPayables User Guide for invoicing. All attachments are available for download from the IonWave portal. The primary contact for this RFP is Nikki Bradshaw, who can be reached at nikki.bradshaw@lbwl.com. Vendors are encouraged to review all documents thoroughly and submit any questions in writing by the question cut-off date.
