This document is a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by the University of Mississippi (UM) for a comprehensive Student Information System (SIS). UM is seeking a vendor to provide a cloud-hosted, fully-integrated SIS that will serve the university's 22,000 students and 3,000 faculty and staff. The RFP outlines the required system components, including student admissions, registration, academic records, financial aid, student accounts, and more. Respondents must submit proposals by October 23, 2024, and UM plans to award the contract by January 1, 2025, with an initial 5-year term and options to renew for up to 10 additional years.

The RFP provides detailed pricing requirements, including both fixed and variable costs. UM has set an overall budget of $15 million for the initial 5-year term and will consider proposals from both small businesses and minority-owned firms. The current SIS is reaching end-of-life, and UM seeks a modern, scalable solution to support its growing enrollment and evolving needs. Funding will come from the university's general operating budget, with potential supplemental grants or appropriations.
