The State of Colorado issued Request for Proposal (RFP) RFP-15-SGAA-Colorado TRS on December 19, 2014, with a submission deadline of January 12, 2015, for services related to the Colorado Teachers Retirement System. This procurement is directed toward Denver County and Denver City jurisdictions and seeks qualified vendors to provide comprehensive services to the Colorado Teachers Retirement System. The solicitation requires bidders to demonstrate capabilities in system integration, service delivery, data security, and compliance with Colorado state regulations. Key evaluation criteria include pricing structures, technical specifications, insurance requirements, contractual terms, service level agreements, and the vendor's ability to meet transition requirements from incumbent service providers. Bidders must address compliance expectations, submit detailed proposals that align with the government's technical requirements, and demonstrate understanding of the project scope and contractual obligations. The proposal submission period extends from the December 19, 2014 posting date through the January 12, 2015 deadline, providing potential vendors with approximately three weeks to prepare and submit responsive bids.

The RFP documentation indicates that responses to frequently asked questions were provided to ensure all prospective vendors operated from consistent information regarding project requirements, evaluation methodology, and contractual obligations. While the available documentation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged or small businesses, the Q&A materials reference considerations for such vendors, suggesting these categories may be eligible to participate in the procurement. The solicitation addresses transition requirements and service continuity from incumbent vendors, indicating an existing service structure that successful bidders must integrate with or replace. Specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed in the publicly available documentation; however, the comprehensive scope of services for a statewide teachers retirement system suggests a significant contract value. Prospective bidders should review the complete RFP documentation and Q&A responses to identify any applicable certifications, insurance requirements, or organizational qualifications necessary for submission.
