This is a Solicitation Change Details Report for Request for Information (RFI) 27006865 issued by the Rhode Island Department of Revenue, Division of Taxation, concerning tax administration systems and related tools. The RFI solicits informational responses from qualified vendors regarding an integrated tax system, high-volume document and remittance processing, tax data warehouse, MeF filing solution, tax web portal, analytics workflow tools, business intelligence reporting, and hosting and support services. The vendor question-and-answer period closed on August 21, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. EDT, with responses due September 11, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. EDT. This is an information-gathering exercise only; no award will be made, and responses will be reviewed for procedural purposes before the RFI is cancelled in Ocean State Procures. Selected vendors may be invited to interviews or demonstrations at vendor expense.

Responses must follow a structured format including a ten-page executive summary, up to forty pages of technology and system offerings, up to four pages of prior Rhode Island work, up to five case studies, up to six pages on implementation versus enhancement, up to four pages on data protection and cybersecurity philosophy, up to two pages on CRM integration, up to six pages on suggested next steps, and required appendices addressing security management plans and comprehensive cybersecurity questions. Cost proposals must not be included. The Division of Taxation currently operates approximately 240 employees daily and maintains sole ownership of all data and custom programming in-house, utilizing an infrastructure comprising Government Premier (integrated taxation system), Fairfax Quick Modules (document and remittance processing), Tyler Technologies (banking and remittance services), Knime (analytics workflow), Microsoft Power BI (business intelligence reporting), and Microsoft Azure Government Cloud (FedRAMP-compliant hosting under IRS Publication 1075), with all systems fully integrated into the Azure FedRAMP-certified environment. The only substantive change documented in this report is the addition of a Questions and Answers document to the RFI.
