System Requirements Matrix Summary

This document is a System Requirements Matrix for a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the Florida Department of Revenue for a vendor-hosted, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) emergency mass notification system. The RFI seeks vendor responses to provide information on emergency mass notification services and software implementation. The system must support communication to 5,000 contacts and provide 24/7/365 secure access to multiple users across the department's locations and offices. Vendor questions are due by November 19, 2025, at 3:00 PM Eastern Time, with vendor responses required by December 8, 2025, at 3:00 PM Eastern Time. No specific site visit or bidder's conference is mentioned in the requirements matrix.

The matrix provides detailed technical, functional, administrative, security, and operational requirements organized into ten categories: General Requirements, Implementation/Project Management Requirements, System Technical Requirements, System Functional Requirements, System Non-functional Requirements, System Administrator/Administrative Requirements, System Security and Compliance Requirements, and Other Requirements. For each requirement, vendors must indicate whether they can meet the requirement with current configuration, with custom programming, or cannot meet the requirement. Key requirements include integration with the Department's People First/SAP/active directory human resources information system for daily automated employee uploads, disaster recovery and multi-data center redundancy, single sign-on capability, multi-channel notification delivery (email, phone, text, call), real-time alert tracking, compliance with Florida Statutes Chapter 119, Americans with Disabilities Act standards, and Section 508 Rehabilitation Act requirements. The RFI is currently in an information-gathering phase and does not constitute a commitment to procure services, with all submitted materials becoming property of the State of Florida.
