About this file

This document is Exhibit 3 of a federal contract opportunity detailing technical integration and system requirements for a Travel System solution to be implemented at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).

The Travel System must integrate bi-directionally with SAP S/4HANA 2023 ERP using modern APIs (REST, OData) with no rate limits. Identity and access management requirements include SSO with SAML 2.0 and/or OAuth 2.0, role-based access control (RBAC), and user provisioning. External service integrations are required for airline support, per diem programs (domestic, non-foreign, and foreign), GovTravel lodging programs, risk/safety tools including travel tracking and duty-of-care providers, and corporate credit card providers. Security and compliance mandates include FedRAMP certification (preferably) or explanation of alternatives, TLS 1.2+ encryption in transit and at rest, multi-factor authentication capabilities, secure mobile access, and device permissions management. All data storage facilities, including disaster recovery locations, must be located in the continental United States. The solution must comply with FISMA requirements, include PII handling protocols for traveler passport/ID information, and establish incident response policies with defined breach notification timelines.

The system must be cloud-hosted SaaS (or on-premise if applicable) with 99.9% uptime availability and a comprehensive disaster recovery plan. Technical capabilities include open APIs for BI/reporting tools, SFTP flat-file integration, custom fields and metadata support, modern responsive UI across desktop/mobile/tablet platforms, a mobile application for booking and expenses, and accessibility compliance. Reporting and analytics must provide standard dashboards for spend, policy compliance, and trip volumes, with custom report building and API-based data extraction without rate limits. Policy and compliance features include configurable travel and expense policies, automatic pre-trip authorization workflows, hard/soft policy rules with alerts, audit queues for expense review, and risk/safety vendor integration. Vendor support requirements include implementation timeline specifications, 24/7 support with ticketing and response SLAs, training materials and video tutorials, data migration capabilities for profiles and historical data, and customer success manager availability.
