Attachment C - Revised 3-17-2020 Mandatory Requirements.xlsx

This is a Mandatory Requirements Checklist for RFP 758 2000000335 issued by the Commonwealth of Kentucky for the UI Modernization System project. The checklist establishes compliance criteria that offerors must meet to have their proposals deemed responsive and eligible for consideration. All mandatory requirements must be addressed with a "YES" response, and the completed checklist must be submitted with the Technical Proposal. The requirements span two primary sections: Section 30, which addresses Commonwealth Office of Technology (COT) requirements covering hosting, security standards, compliance frameworks, data quality, software development, network specifications, and project governance; and Section 50, which encompasses business and functional requirements including vendor experience and qualifications, system functionality, performance standards, accessibility compliance, interface specifications, comprehensive technical capabilities, testing protocols, change management, training, deliverables, and service level agreements.

The checklist includes over 100 specific mandatory requirements organized across multiple categories such as Kentucky Information Technology Standards (KITS) compliance, Commonwealth Security Standards, EU GDPR compliance, Section 508 accessibility compliance, system security controls, configuration management, usability standards, technical specifications, testing requirements, documentation, and performance-based penalties. Vendor proposals must demonstrate compliance with all outlined requirements without exception, as non-compliance with any mandatory requirement will result in the proposal being deemed non-responsive and excluded from further evaluation.
