The University of Mississippi (UM) is seeking to procure a comprehensive Student Information System (SIS) to serve its 22,000 students and 3,000 faculty and staff. The RFP outlines the required system components, including student admissions, registration, academic records, financial aid, and student accounts. UM is looking for a cloud-hosted, fully-integrated SIS solution and is requesting proposals by October 23, 2024, with a planned contract award by January 1, 2025. The initial contract term is 5 years, with options to renew for up to 10 additional years. UM has set an overall budget of $15 million for the initial 5-year term and is seeking proposals that include both fixed and variable costs.

UM is considering proposals from both small businesses and minority-owned firms. The current SIS is reaching end-of-life, and UM is seeking a modern, scalable solution to support its growing enrollment and evolving needs. Funding for this procurement will come from the university's general operating budget, with potential supplemental grants or appropriations. UM has not provided any information about incumbent vendors or current contractors, but the RFP indicates a need for integration with existing infrastructure and technology.
