The government authority in Los Angeles, California is seeking vendors to provide an enterprise-grade high availability next generation firewall solution. The system must integrate with Microsoft Active Directory for identity services, with backup capabilities via a cloud-based AD. The project also accounts for future migration from traditional telephony to cloud-based VoIP services, highlighting the need for a scalable and forward-compatible solution.

Each firewall appliance should include a minimum of 128GB RAM to support long-term feature expansion and extensive logging requirements. Vendors are expected to deliver solutions that ensure robust security, operational continuity, and adaptability to evolving IT and communication infrastructure.
