The process involves an interest evaluation followed by a consent period prior to submitting the request to DHS & FEMA for approval. Initial interest in the program is given through survey form or direct contact to local government outreach. A link to the survey form is here: CrowdStrike Interest Form
Once the initial interest is collected, a quote is generated by the vendor to determine the overall cost for the purchase period. This cost is attached to a Letter of Consent that must be signed by all participants before the official purchase can be submitted to DHS & FEMA for approval. This process is driven by the requirements of the State and Local Cybersecurity Grant.
