RFI for Next Gen ERP Requirements Review Services

The State of Tennessee is seeking information from vendors on solutions for next-generation ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) requirements review services. This initiative focuses on integrating advanced AI-driven technologies and fairness controls within the statewide ERP system. Vendors are expected to provide insights regarding centrally managed IT infrastructure services for a statewide ERP, as well as engage with the ERP vendor community to offer feedback, comments, and recommendations.

Respondents should discuss how generative AI is currently transforming ERP platforms and outline significant upcoming advancements, capabilities, and architectural changes anticipated over the next five years. Specific attention should be given to whether the proposed platform is built on a native AI architecture or utilizes bolt-on AI solutions. Additionally, responses must identify the types of AI models incorporated, including Large Language Models (LLMs), Small Language Models (SLMs), and other AI or machine learning models.

Proposals should also detail the inclusion of fairness controls, bias detection tools, and discrimination prevention mechanisms to ensure equitable and responsible use of AI within the ERP platform. Interested vendors are required to submit any questions regarding this request no later than December 22, 2025.
