About this file
This is Amendment #9 to Request for Proposals #32701-25-414 issued by the State of Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation for a State Revolving Loan Fund Program Data Management System. The amendment updates and confirms the RFP schedule of events with revised dates for all critical procurement milestones. The Pre-Response Conference is scheduled for November 21, 2025, with a Notice of Intent to Respond deadline of November 24, 2025. Written questions and comments are due December 3, 2025, followed by a second round of questions due March 16, 2026. The response deadline is April 14, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. central time. Technical response evaluations will be completed by May 8, 2026, with respondent oral presentations scheduled for May 15 and 18, 2026. Cost proposals will be opened and scored on May 19, 2026, followed by negotiation from May 22-26, 2026. The Notice of Intent to Award will be released on May 28, 2026, with the protest period ending June 4, 2026. The contractor signature deadline is June 12, 2026. The contract term extends 60 months with a maximum estimated budget of $4,000,000.
The amendment modifies four key RFP sections and introduces one new requirement. Section A.4 has been revised to replace the commercial credit score requirement with a current bank reference requirement—a standard business letter from a financial institution signed and dated within the past three months, addressing concerns from vendors without available credit scores. A new Section A.24 requires respondents to provide a statement confirming they have or will have at the time of contract effectiveness one of the Information Technology Security Requirements outlined in Section D.38 of the pro forma contract. The solicitation coordinator contact information has been updated to Sydney Loomans at the Central Procurement Office. The state anticipates implementation could take up to one year, with changes and enhancements outside the original scope to be handled through change orders and contract modifications. All other terms and conditions of the original RFP remain in full force and effect.

QUESTION / COMMENT STATE RESPONSE
1. If a privately held vendor does not maintain a commercial credit score, will the evaluation committee accept alternate documentation (such as a letter from a bank attesting to good financial history and current standing) in lieu of a credit score document, without negatively impacting scoring or consideration?
Language has been updated, please see Item 4 of this amendment.
6.3 2.Confirming that the total in “EVALUATION COST AMOUNT (sum of evaluation costs above)” should not be more than $4,000,000.
$4 million is the anticipated maximum budget for the contract. Changes, enhancements, and support outside of the original implementation scope will be handled via change order and contract modification as appropriate.
3.Is there a deadline for the solution to be operational?
The State would like to see the Solution implemented and operational as soon as possible.
However, we understand project implementation could take up to a year.
6.2 A.4 4. In RFP Attachment 6.2, Item A.4, you
require a current positive credit rating or a document or letter from an accredited credit bureau indicating a satisfactory credit score.
We are a 33-year-old corporation with a mature software solution and a proven track record delivering our system and services to 17 state agencies handling revolving loan fund programs of a similar size and scope to that being requested by TDEC (with 12 of those being for Clean Water and Drinking Water agencies). In all these years, we have never been asked for a credit score or credit report as part of an RFP response. Upon researching this, we have discovered that we do not have any score or report available.
We have no debt or other financial activity that would trigger reporting. The only D&B score that we can find is from more than 15 years ago and it is no longer considered valid. (It was only a partial score since there was only one bank reporting at that time and only for a very short time period.) How should we respond to this requirement if there is no credit score or report available for us to submit?
Language has been updated, please see Item 4 of this amendment.
