Drupal to WordPress Migration

SUNY Geneseo is seeking a qualified vendor to execute a comprehensive Drupal to WordPress website migration project with Procurement Number TRU5625. The project involves migrating approximately 6,550 pages from geneseo.edu and 450 pages from the Scene Magazine website, with a target completion date of January 1, 2026. The primary objectives include creating a modernized site experience that is faster, more intuitive, and easier to manage, while largely retaining the existing site structure with targeted design updates. The vendor will be responsible for content migration, technical support, and guidance for implementing reusable content layouts, with a specific requirement to ensure compliance with WCAG 2.2 accessibility standards. Proposals are due by 10:00am EST on 5/29/25, and the vendor will need to collaborate closely with Geneseo's IT team to ensure site performance and stability. The college plans to utilize a custom child theme based on the Astra theme, extended by Astra Pro and Spectra Pro plugins, and will host the site on a cloud platform. Vendors must demonstrate expertise in website migration, content management system transitions, and accessibility implementation.

The contract opportunity includes specific sub-contracting goals for minority-owned (15.9%), women-owned (14.1%), and disadvantaged-owned (6%) businesses, though it is not designated as a service-disabled veteran-owned set-aside. The project will support a distributed editing model involving 300 subsites and 613 editors, suggesting a complex multi-user content management environment. No specific budget has been publicly disclosed, but SUNY Geneseo expects proposals to reflect pricing that is reasonable and appropriate for the project's scope. No incumbent vendors have been identified as having been awarded similar contracts in the past five years. The procurement will be executed under NYS Education Law 355(S)(a), which provides discretionary authority for the award. Potential vendors must contact the campus procurement contact within 15 business days of the advertisement notice to express interest and receive further details about the proposal requirements.
