Request for Information for Information Technology Modernization

The Texas Board of Nursing (BON) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for the Regulatory Applications Modernization Project (RAMP), which aims to modernize the agency's Enforcement System, Education Program System, and website. The project seeks to automate workflows, provide online portal capabilities, and integrate with the existing Optimal Regulatory Board System (ORBS). The RFI outlines the current state of BON's systems and the desired future state capabilities, including data conversion, system interfaces, hosting, training, and an Agile-based implementation approach. Respondents are required to provide detailed cost estimates for implementation services, such as requirements gathering, design, development, testing, training, and ongoing support and hosting. Responses to the RFI are due by October 23, 2024, and the information gathered will be used by BON to inform its future procurement activities and justify budget requests.

The RFI is open to all interested vendors, and there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The BON is seeking cloud-based solutions that can integrate with the existing ORBS infrastructure, and the available budget range is not specified. The RFI does not mention any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and the BON is looking to leverage the expertise and capabilities of the vendor community to modernize its critical regulatory applications and improve service delivery to its stakeholders.
