THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The council will approve a cooperative agreement with Fortinet, Inc for IT security and data protection products. This formalizes Fortinet as the chosen provider for cybersecurity tools and related solutions. The decision gives insight into the city’s security stack and suggests future needs for integration, managed security services, and training around Fortinet products.
Cooperative agreement structure implies purchases may be made as needed under this umbrella rather than a one-time buy.

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 Cleveland Area MPO's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
