About this file

This is a Service Level Agreement (SLA) Criteria Measure attachment for the State of Kentucky, specifically supporting RFP 758 2000000335. The document establishes comprehensive performance standards and incident response requirements for system management services. The SLA defines four incident severity levels with corresponding response and resolution timeframes, ranging from Level 1 (system outage affecting 51-100% of users requiring 24/7/365 support with less than 30-minute first response) to Level 4 (affecting 1-10% of users with 11/5 support hours and less than 4-hour response time). The agreement mandates specific service level metrics requiring 98% compliance for Level 1 incidents, declining to 95% for Level 4 incidents, with measurement conducted on a calendar month basis. Additionally, the SLA establishes technical performance standards including response times of 3 seconds for public-facing applications and 2 seconds for non-public applications during peak loads, system availability requirements of 99.9% uptime for public-facing systems and 99.7% for non-public systems measured on a rolling 30-day cycle, and data recovery standards ensuring no loss except for uncommitted transactions.

The document further specifies operational requirements including 24/7 system availability with limited service during scheduled maintenance windows, 7-year data retention capability with selective purge options, and infrastructure capacity planning for 50% growth over 5 years. Defect correction timelines are established at 2 hours for critical Severity 1 and 2 deficiencies, 48 hours for Severity 3 deficiencies, and 72 hours for Severity 4 deficiencies, measured from logging in the defect tracking tool through production migration. The SLA distinguishes between public-facing and non-public-facing application requirements, with varying uptime percentages and transaction processing standards tailored to user impact levels. Peak load considerations and system dependency factors are incorporated into availability calculations, ensuring realistic performance standards aligned with Kentucky's operational needs.

Response Time (End to End)
≤ 3 Seconds for each page to be submitted, processed, and returned back to the user while the system is under peak loads.
≤ 2 Seconds for each page to be submitted, processed, and returned back to the user while the system is under peak loads.

≤ 3 Seconds to process an Initial Claim transaction An average time of 5 consecutive transactions taken by the system at any time. The transaction type(s) will be selected by the state of KY.

System Availability (Uptime)
99.9% fully functional
99.7% fully functional
System availability will be measured on a rolling 30-day cycle. In order for the System to be considered fully functional, all appropriate transactions and data are available to each user as defined by their level of access and based on Planned Hours of Operation. In addition, all transactions operate as specified.
Level of Data Recovery
No data loss except for data collected after the last committed transaction.
No data loss except for data collected after the last committed transaction.
