MNIT/DOC Operations Management System (OMS)

The Minnesota Department of Information Technology Services (MNIT) and Minnesota Department of Corrections (DOC) are seeking a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) cloud-based Corrections Operations Management System (OMS) to replace their existing legacy Corrections Operations Management System (COMS). This procurement will serve the jurisdictions of Ramsey County and St. Paul City, with the primary objective of implementing a flexible, scalable platform that supports future operational growth and business transformation. The OMS must encompass comprehensive functionality including case management, classification, intake, health services, security, offender tracking, and numerous other corrections-related capabilities. Proposals are due by May 6, 2024 at 2:00 PM Central Time, with an anticipated contract term from August 2024 to July 2029. The state will evaluate proposals using a two-tier scoring methodology and may invite selected finalists to an Invitation to Negotiate process. Key deliverables include system configuration, data migration, training, ongoing support, and implementation of a cloud-hosted solution with the latest product version. Respondents must provide detailed documentation demonstrating their approach to project management, system implementation, integration capabilities, and ongoing technical support.

The contract opportunity includes provisions for veteran-owned business preferences and requires compliance with workforce and equal pay declarations. Respondents must be registered as either a bidder or supplier to participate in the event. The solution must comply with various standards including NIST, CJIS, Section 508, and NIEM, and be hosted on a FedRAMP-certified cloud platform. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly disclosed, the contract appears to anticipate a comprehensive seven-year maintenance and support period beyond initial implementation. The state expects the selected vendor to provide a mature API-based integration framework capable of connecting with existing internal and external systems. Accessibility is a critical requirement, with bidders required to demonstrate their capabilities in creating accessible digital technology and incorporating accessibility standards into their development process. The procurement does not mention specific incumbent vendors but requires detailed conversion of existing DOC data into the new OMS platform.
