About this file

This is a Requests for Proposal (RFP) Questions and Answers document related to an Investment Account and Portfolio Management system for a state entity managing multiple pension and investment plans, including SMRS, the Lottery, and the Education Trust, with approximately 517,000 members. The document addresses vendor questions regarding system requirements and accounting functionality needed to support investment accounting operations. Key questions focus on accounting standards compliance (IFRS versus GAAP), General Ledger data requirements and format (trade-level versus account posting-level data), tracking requirements at the plan versus individual member level, and clarification on transaction counter functionality based on predetermined time periods. The specific response dates, due dates, site visits, bidders' conferences, and award dates are not included in this excerpt of the RFP questions document.

The document does not contain information regarding pricing terms, set-asides, incumbent contractors, funding sources, or contract renewal options. This appears to be a preliminary questions and answers document intended to clarify RFP requirements and system specifications before vendors submit formal proposals. Additional details regarding budget, contract duration, and other salient procurement terms would be found in the main RFP document or associated exhibits.

Can you provide an example of the type of data that needs to be sent to the General Ledger? Are these trade-level data (e.g. Buy/Sell, quantity, price, etc.) or account posting-level (e.g. account, debit/credit, and amount)?

For requirement B1: is the requirement to track at the plan level (e.g. SMRS, the Lottery, the Education Trust, etc.) or at the individual member level (i.e. the 517,000 members)? For requirement B1: is the requirement to track at the plan level (e.g. SMRS, the Lottery, the Education Trust, etc.) or at the individual member level (i.e. the 517,000 members)?
