SPEXS Business Analyst

The Illinois Secretary of State is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB) to procure the services of one SPEXS Business Analyst. The selected vendor will be responsible for reviewing and analyzing federal requirements, current workflows and procedures, identifying business and data requirements, assisting with development of requirements and documentation, and supporting acceptance testing and post-implementation activities for the State Pointer Exchange Services (SPEXS) system. The initial contract term is upon execution through June 30, 2022, with the option to renew for one additional year. Vendors may submit a maximum of two qualified candidates, and the work must be performed 100% onsite in Springfield, Illinois for an estimated 1,920 hours per full fiscal year. Minimum qualifications for the SPEXS Business Analyst include a BA/BS degree in a technology-related field or equivalent experience, as well as demonstrated expertise in requirements gathering, PDPS/CDLIS/SPEXS systems, and various analysis and documentation tools. The contract will be awarded to the responsive and responsible vendor with the lowest hourly rate.

This IFB does not include a small business set-aside, and the incumbent vendor providing these services is unknown. The total payments under the contract are estimated but shall not exceed a maximum amount without a formal amendment. Seven bidders responded to the previous bid, with the contract awarded to Synapsis, Inc. for $139,800. The procurement is not funded by federal funds, and there are no requirements for references for the candidate or vendor.
