(1) Vendor needs to provide enterprise identity and access management system.– The envisioned future–state IAM system will serve as a centralized, scalable framework for managing the complete identity lifecycle, enforcing privileged access controls, and maintaining continuous compliance. It must seamlessly integrate across hybrid and multi–cloud environments, while also supporting interoperability with external agency systems, customer platforms, and vendor solutions. This approach will ensure secure, cohesive, and efficient identity governance throughout the enterprise.– End–to–End Identity Lifecycle Automation: Automate access requests, onboarding, offboarding, internal transfers, and terminations, incorporating approval workflows to ensure policy compliance and operational efficiency.– Prefer Commercial Off–The–Shelf (COTS) solution over custom solution to ensure scalability, adaptability, integration, automation, vendor support, and faster implementation/upgrades.– Integration with HR systems (e.g., PeopleSoft, Workday, SAP SuccessFactors) as authoritative sources– Self–service portals: password reset, and account unlock.– Multi–Factor Authentication (MFA): Support for SMS, email OTP, mobile authenticator apps, hardware keys, biometrics, hardware tokens (YubiKey).– Customizable login pages and branding options with mobile–friendly user interfaces and progressive profiling.– Cloud–native (SaaS) option, on–premises, or hybrid deployment models(2) All question must be submitted no later than January 8, 2026. (3) A pre–proposal will be held on January 6, 2025.
