RFI - Budget Management Software Solution, Implementation, Training and Support Services for Harris County

Harris County, Texas has issued a Request for Information (RFI) through the Harris County Purchasing Department for a comprehensive Budget Management Software Solution, with Project No. 060925SMM. The procurement seeks advanced financial planning and analysis (FP&A) technology solutions designed to enhance financial reporting, compliance capabilities, and modernize auditing processes across county departments. Specific requirements include software capabilities for advanced budgeting, forecasting, scenario modeling, ERP system integration, automated report generation, customized reporting, and self-service analytics. The RFI targets a solution that will support the Harris County Auditor's Office functional objectives, with critical requirements including data consolidation across reporting levels, multiple data extraction methods, robust security management, scalability, and alignment with Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) principles. The RFI is due by 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, September 3, 2025, with the primary goal of exploring potential technology solutions for financial management and reporting.

The RFI does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The county seeks integration with their existing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, specifically PeopleSoft, and aims to automate the development of financial reports like the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR). While no specific budget range is disclosed, the comprehensive nature of the requested solution suggests a significant technology investment. The RFI explicitly states that it is for information gathering purposes only and does not constitute a commitment to purchase, with all submitted information becoming county property. Vendors are advised that they will be submitting information at their own risk and expense, and the county maintains full discretion in evaluating and potentially pursuing subsequent procurement processes based on the gathered information.
