About this file

This amendment to a Request for Proposals (RFP) is issued by the South Carolina Department of Employment and Workforce on behalf of the Coordinating Council for Workforce Development for the Find Your Future Portal project. The solicitation seeks design, development, implementation, and operations of a statewide digital platform that integrates education and workforce resources across multiple state agencies, serving diverse user personas including students, job seekers, employers, educators, and state agencies. The portal must incorporate single sign-on integration with MySC.gov, ID.me, and Login.gov; federated data and analytics architecture; case management interoperability; digital wallet and credential registry services; and user community and mentorship functions. Amendment 1, issued October 30, 2026, modifies the proposal submission deadline to January 8, 2027 at 11:00 AM. A pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for October 13, 2026 at 10:00 AM EST via web conference. Questions must be received by October 20, 2026 at 11:00 AM. Award is expected April 16, 2027. The contract is structured as firm fixed-price with a three-year base period, a two-year option period, and two one-year option periods.

The solicitation requires vendors to demonstrate fifteen years of continuous operation, ten years of experience delivering enterprise-scale multi-agency digital platforms, and successful implementation of at least two state or federal government contracts within the past ten years. A minimum of two references from similar public sector implementations in North America are required. The solution must comply with South Carolina's DIS-200 and DIS-210 security frameworks, adhere to FERPA, HIPAA, and state data privacy laws, and meet Section 508 and WCAG 2.0 Level AA accessibility standards. All costs for integration setup, connector enablement, partner onboarding, interface configuration, and transition assistance are included in fixed pricing with no separate per-connection fees. Implementation fee reductions of 5 percent to 40 percent apply for failure to meet critical service-level requirements or quality gates, and operations and maintenance fee reductions of 2 percent to 5 percent apply to monthly recurring fees for critical operational failures. The State retains sole ownership of all data, custom software, configurations, integrations, and deliverables. Key personnel must be identified and approved prior to contract award, with day rates established at inception remaining unchanged throughout the contract term. Vendors must commit to on-site staffing with a dedicated project manager and implementation team for no fewer than three days per week throughout implementation and hypercare periods.
