About this file
This is a Functionality Matrix attachment for a Talent Assessment Software procurement by the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles (SCDMV). The document provides offerors with a detailed technical evaluation framework comprising 28 mandatory requirements across eight categories: Software Requirements, User Management and Access Control, Integration and Data Management, User Experience with Candidates, Administration and Proctoring, Implementation and Support, and Security and Compliance. SCDMV seeks a SaaS, cloud-based assessment platform accessible via standard web browsers with responsive mobile design that supports multiple test types including multiple-choice, essay, situational judgment, skill-based, personality assessments, and job simulations. The system must include a robust question bank, randomization capabilities, various scoring methods, cheating detection features, and unlimited use across SCDMV units. The platform must integrate with SCDMV's existing SuccessFactors Applicant Tracking System and support role-based access control with Single Sign-On authentication.
All responses must be submitted in Microsoft Excel 2003 or 2007 format with offerors indicating functionality delivery method (Base Functionality, Configuration, Custom Development, or Not Supported) and complexity level (High, Medium, or Low) for each requirement, accompanied by detailed textual descriptions demonstrating compliance. The system must comply with ADA/WCAG standards, Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, federal anti-discrimination laws, and the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures. Critical technical requirements include support for concurrent usage by at least 50 users, 99.9% uptime guarantees, industry-standard encryption, third-party security audits, and the ability to scale with SCDMV's projected hiring volume growth over five years. The contractor must provide comprehensive implementation planning, staff training, ongoing technical support with service level agreements, regular software updates, and complete electronic documentation.

Attachment 3 - Functionality Matrix
Instructions:
This spreadsheet provides offerors the opportunity to describe how the attributes and capabilities of their proposed solution align with the Core System functional and technical preferences.
1 This spreadsheet includes one response tab - (1) Technical. For proposals to be considered, offerors must complete each section of the Technical tab.
2 Each preference has four functionality columns labeled Base Functionality, Configuration, Custom Development, and Not Supported. Offerors must indicate the level of functionality supported by adding an "X" mark in the appropriate column for each preference.
3 Each preference has three configuration / customization complexity columns labeled High, Medium, and Low. Offerors must indicate the level of complexity by adding an "X" mark in the appropriate column for each preference.
4 The response/description area immediately below each preference allows the entry of textual information. Offerors must use this space to describe in detail how their proposed solution conforms with the preference. Precise references to other portions of the submission may be used as necessary. Simply repeating the preference or stating agreement will not be considered a satisfactory response.
5 Proposals that do not meet the listed requirements may be eliminated from further consideration. Offerors must provide a text response in sufficient detail to demonstrate their proposal's compliance.
6 Offerors must submit the completed spreadsheet in Microsoft Excel 2003 or 2007 format. Cells may be expanded to accommodate text responses. However, other formatting changes such as removing or inserting rows or columns, renumbering preferences, hiding or protecting cells, altering colors, or modifying headings are not permitted and may be grounds to dismiss a proposal.
