GSU - Digital Preservation System

Georgia State University, operating under the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, is issuing an electronic Request for Proposals (eRFP) to procure a cloud-based, vendor-hosted Digital Preservation System (DPS) for Georgia State University Library. The procurement seeks a qualified supplier to establish an agency contract for an initial one-year term with nine one-year renewal options, for a potential 10-year engagement.

Qualified suppliers must demonstrate expertise in cloud-based digital preservation solutions and the ability to meet standards-compliance requirements for archival and institutional records management. The RFP was posted on February 24, 2026, with proposals due by March 31, 2026.
