RFI_32801-REAL2026_Amendment_2.pdf

This is Amendment 2 to a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency regarding the design, implementation, and administration of a Remote Easy Access License (R.E.A.L.) point-of-sale system. The amendment updates the project schedule to confirm key deadlines for the solicitation process. The revised timeline establishes the RFI issued date as August 31, 2026, with written questions and comments due by 2:00 p.m. Central Time on September 11, 2026. The State will respond to submitted questions and comments by October 5, 2026, and RFI responses are due by 2:00 p.m. Central Time on October 9, 2026. These dates represent modifications to the original RFI schedule, with the highlighted revisions indicating the extended response deadline from the initially planned October 2, 2026 date. All other terms and conditions of the RFI remain in full force and effect unless expressly amended by this document.

The amendment does not address pricing, set-asides, incumbent contractor information, or specific funding details. Respondents should note that all previously issued RFI requirements regarding technical specifications, security certifications, insurance requirements, data encryption standards, disaster recovery capabilities, and contractual terms remain applicable. The RFI solicits information from potential vendors regarding their experience with similar point-of-sale systems, pricing structures, and willingness to negotiate contract terms. Responses submitted by the deadline become the property of the State and will remain confidential until after evaluation of any subsequent formal procurement action.
