ERP_RFI-31701-03815_Amendment_1.pdf

This is an amendment to a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the State of Tennessee Department of Finance and Administration for the TN Next Gen ERP Requirements Review. Amendment 1 updates and confirms the scheduled RFI dates for vendor participation. The RFI solicits vendor feedback on draft requirements for a next-generation Enterprise Resource Planning system designed to replace the current system in production since 2008. Key milestone dates include the Initial Vendor Background Questionnaire due December 22, 2025, Non-Disclosure Agreement due January 7, 2026, vendor written questions and comments due January 20, 2026, state response to written questions due February 5, 2026, and final RFI responses due February 24, 2026. All submission deadlines are 2:00 PM Central Time on state business days. Vendors who pass the Initial Vendor Background Questionnaire check and complete the NDA will receive Attachment 3 on January 8, 2026.

The amendment confirms that all previously established terms and conditions of the RFI remain in full force and effect except where expressly amended by this document. The RFI does not involve pricing information collection at this stage, as it is designed solely to gather vendor input on modernization requirements, including AI architecture, governance frameworks, security controls, and system extensibility. No specific set-asides or incumbent vendor information is referenced in this amendment. The State is planning a formal Request for Proposals for 2026 based on the feedback gathered through this RFI process.
