About this opportunity
The New York State Teachers' Retirement System (NYSTRS) is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) for market research on pension administration system replacement, with responses due August 21, 2026. This RFI will inform the scope and structure of a future Readiness Assessment RFP; no contract is being awarded from this RFI itself.
NYSTRS is evaluating replacement of its legacy Pension Administration System, a twenty-year-old platform with significant technical debt and more than 200 open initiatives in ServiceNow for new features, enhancements, and defects. The anticipated sunsetting of PeopleSoft in 2037, combined with industry peers' lengthy modernization timelines, has prompted NYSTRS to begin modernization planning. The Readiness Assessment will precede any system replacement procurement.
Vendors must obtain solicitation documents exclusively through the official Bonfire (Euna Procurement) portal at https://nystrs.bonfirehub.com/portal. NYSTRS does not recognize copies obtained from other sources as official, and only vendors registering through Bonfire are guaranteed receipt of all attachments, drawings, and addenda.
Opportunity text
NYSTRS is assessing the potential replacement of its legacy Pension Administration System (PAS), a twenty-year-old platform carrying significant technical debt. The system currently has more than 200+ initiatives open in ServiceNow regarding new features, enhancements and defects related to this system, highlighting the need for modernization. The anticipated sunsetting of PeopleSoft in 2037, along with peers' lengthy modernization timelines, has prompted NYSTRS to begin this effort. Before replacing PAS, NYSTRS will conduct a Readiness Assessment to prepare for a new system. This RFI is issued solely for market research and will inform the structure and scope of a future Readiness Assessment RFP. IMPORTANT NOTICE - Document Distribution: NYSTRS officially distributes bidding documents through Bonfire (Euna Procurement). Copies of solicitation documents obtained from any other source are not considered official copies. Only those vendors who obtain solicitation documents from the Bonfire Portal are guaranteed to receive all attachments, drawings or addendum information, if such information is issued.
