Jefferson County Commission · November 6, 2025

Summary

Jefferson County authorized an RFP for IT modernization including domain consolidation under jefcowv.gov, migration to Microsoft 365 (E1), Azure AD deployment, and implementation of a FIPS 201–compliant PIV smart card system; vendors must propose cloud and on-prem options.

Chief Technology Officer Gabriel Areizaga briefed the commission on a county IT modernization plan. Commissioner Steve Stolipher moved to authorize release of an RFP to consolidate domains under jefcowv.gov, migrate county email and services to Microsoft 365 (primarily E1 licensing), deploy Azure Active Directory and implement a FIPS 201–compliant PIV smart-card system for logical access.

The RFP requires vendors to propose both cloud and on-premise options for Certificate Authority, DNS and DHCP, and to provide lifecycle cost modeling, training and support. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Cara Keys and approved unanimously.

County staff will proceed to draft and publish the RFP and evaluate proposals against security, lifecycle cost and support criteria.
