The RFQt requires bidders to provide extensive information about their platform, including details on single sign-on (SSO) integration, API availability, data storage and encryption, security compliance, user account capabilities, and system performance. Key technical requirements include supporting up to 10,000 annual library programs without performance degradation, demographic tagging of programs, integration with Polaris ILS, plugin compatibility with OpenCities, and the ability to support at least 35 user accounts. The document also emphasizes security considerations, such as data encryption, incident response plans, compliance with standards like SOC 2 and ISO 27001, and the platform's ability to handle sensitive data types like PCI, HIPAA, and PII.
