About this opportunity
The State of Tennessee Sports Wagering Council has issued Request for Proposals (RFP) 31615-2025-001 for comprehensive background investigation services targeting sports gaming operators, vendors, and key personnel. The solicitation requires a contractor to conduct extensive background checks encompassing criminal records, financial history, civil records, international records, credit reports, and specialized screening processes for new and renewal license applications. Evaluation of proposals will follow a 100-point system, with 50 points allocated to technical qualifications, 10 points for oral presentations, 10 points for general qualifications, and 30 points for cost. Key dates include a response deadline of June 4, 2025, with oral presentations scheduled for June 23-25, 2025, and an anticipated contract award in July 2025. The contract will run for 60 months beginning June 30, 2025, with detailed investigative services priced on a per-unit basis ranging from $15 to $1,275 per investigation. Proposed deliverables include comprehensive background checks covering corporate filings, criminal and civil record searches, credit reports, OFAC and global watchlist checks, and specialized investigations for key personnel in the sports gaming industry.
The RFP does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract has a maximum liability of $780,000 over its 60-month term, with a pricing structure that allows for flexibility in investigative services. A mandatory confidentiality agreement accompanies the RFP, requiring the selected contractor to maintain strict confidentiality of all sensitive personal and business information obtained during investigations. The agreement stipulates that all confidential information remains the sole property of the State, with the contractor granted only a temporary, limited, non-exclusive license to use the information as required by the contract. Legal remedies, including potential injunctive relief, are outlined for any breaches of confidentiality, and the agreement will be construed under Tennessee state law. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the solicitation indicates a comprehensive approach to vetting sports gaming industry participants through detailed background investigations.
