DESCRIPTION
The issuing organization is seeking a vendor to provide identity and access management (IAM) modernization services and a supporting solution for a university environment. The scope includes establishing a centralized identity management framework so that user roles, attributes, and groups are defined in one place and consistently synchronized across systems including Active Directory, Google, and Entra ID. The project also aims to simplify authentication by reducing the number of sign-in methods and moving toward a primary approach based on Entra ID instead of legacy methods such as Shibboleth, direct application logins, and other existing access paths.
The selected vendor will be expected to support broad security and lifecycle improvements across the institution. These include enabling multi-factor authentication for faculty, staff, students, alumni where appropriate, guests, and shared accounts; updating password policies to align with modern security practices and future passwordless capabilities; and replacing internally developed password reset tools with a modern self-service solution. The work also includes implementing automated provisioning and deprovisioning based on roles, personas, and attributes; improving management of administrative and privileged accounts under least-privilege principles; and shifting authentication to a cloud-based model where feasible to maintain access to critical services during campus network outages.
Questions are due by July 20, 2026, and a pre-bid meeting is scheduled for July 10, 2026.
