DESCRIPTION

The issuing organization is seeking a vendor to provide a human resources information system (HRIS) that unifies core HR functions, payroll, benefits administration, timekeeping, performance management, and reporting within a single platform. The solution is expected to support employee records management, payroll processing and tax compliance, time and attendance tracking, recruiting and applicant tracking, onboarding and offboarding, and succession planning. Learning and development functionality may also be included if applicable.

The selected vendor must ensure seamless integration with existing systems, including payroll, accounting and finance systems, ERP platforms, scheduling tools, and third-party benefit and compliance providers such as E-Verify, ACA, and retirement plan systems. The scope also includes assessing the quality and structure of current HR data, cleansing and validating that data, and migrating both historical and active employee records into the new HRIS while maintaining data integrity and completing reconciliation testing.

Additional responsibilities include training and ongoing support for HR staff, managers, and employees, facilitating end-user testing sessions, documenting and resolving defects prior to go-live, and providing go-live support with real-time troubleshooting. A pre-bid meeting will be held on July 20, 2026, and all questions must be submitted by July 27, 2026.
