From the meeting
At the September 1, 2026 meeting, the council approved the purchase of Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewalls plus related licensing and support. The minutes do not show the dollar amount, but they do confirm the City had already selected the hardware, software, and support path. That makes this useful incumbent and expansion intelligence for cybersecurity vendors watching the City's network stack.
No new solicitation is indicated in the source.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Pinole's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
