Request for Proposals (RFP) Addendum #3 SWIFT Event #: 2000018420 Agency: Department of Information Technology Services partnering with the Department of Corrections Addendum Number: 3 Date of Addendum: 7/28/2026 Title: MINNCOR eCommerce Solutions
SCOPE OF ADDENDUM

(1) Revisions to the RFP language: The revision includes the extended response due date where Responses must be received no later than 2:00 PM Central Time, 7/28/2026 is changed to no later than 2:00 PM Central Time, 8/3/2026

· Responses must be received not later than 2:00 PM Central Time, 7/28/2028 8/3/2026
(2) Revision to State’s answer to Vendor Question 1.1 on Adendum #2: The revision includes the answer being revised and broken down into the two distinct components and not bundled as a single issue to be addressed.
Changes to the original Addendum #2 language will use underlines for insertions and strikethroughs for deletions; or the section will describe what is changing or being added to the Addendum #2 language.
1.1 Question: The RFP requires comprehensive B2C eCommerce capabilities including GovRAMP authorization requirements for High Risk Data on an aggressive timeline. We are not aware of many if any firms in the specialized print production eCommerce and institutional manufacturing workflow vertical that can demonstrate both mature B2C transaction support and timely GovRAMP Moderate compliance. Would the State consider removing the B2C component or adjusting the GovRAMP scope and timeline to encourage broader participation from qualified vendors with relevant vertical experience?
1.1 Answer: The State of Minnesota’s RFP for MINNCOR eCommerce requires comprehensive B2C capabilities and GovRAMP Moderate authorization for vendors handling high-risk data. As of July 2026, the requirement is fixed: all new/renewing IT contracts for high-risk data vendors must achieve GovRAMP Moderate or High authorization by April 1, 2027, with continuous monitoring.
Please Note: There is no published indication that the B2C component or GovRAMP timeline will be relaxed; any changes would require formal amendment to the RFP or contract.
1. comprehensive B2C eCommerce capabilities – Any vendor working in the eCommerce space should be able to meet this requirement
1. achieve GovRAMP Moderate or High authorization by April 1, 2027, with continuous monitoring – For this requirement, the vendor should be able to articulate that they are actively working toward meeting this requirement and the steps they are taking to become compliant or state they are already compliant.
