RFP-FSU-27-02 Transfer Credit Evaluation and Articulation System

Framingham State University is seeking a vendor to design, implement, and support an enterprise‑level Transfer Credit Articulation Engine that will replace its current manual transfer‑credit evaluation process. The solution must automate rule‑based decision making, provide gap‑closure recommendations, maintain a centralized policy dashboard, and integrate in real‑time with the university’s Ellucian Banner student information system and Slate CRM. The contract covers software licensing, configuration, data migration, implementation services, training, documentation, ongoing maintenance, and technical support for a three‑year term, with two optional one‑year renewals. The university requires a SaaS/PaaS delivery model, SSO/AD integration, FERPA compliance, and at least five public‑sector references on Banner.
