Emergency Notice - Cutover and Data Conversion Support

The State of Illinois is seeking a vendor to provide cutover and data conversion support for the Statewide Accounting Management System (SAMS) Modernization Project. The vendor will provide expert guidance for cutover and data conversion oversight planning and execution. The project duration is 90 days, and the estimated expenditure is $198,000. The vendor will participate in cutover planning, oversee approved cutover activities and data conversion processes, and contribute to the project team as an active member. Some key points to consider are: • The short-term nature of this purchasing cycle does not allow for establishing secure, reliable partnerships with BEP certified businesses. • The vendor will provide progress reports on key cutover and data conversion activities to the SMOD Project Manager and stakeholders on a bi-weekly basis. • The emergency procurement allows uninterrupted access to the vendor's services for a period of 90 days. • The vendor will honor the NASPO pricing for this emergency contract.
