• Required implementation services: data migration, project management, testing, training, sandbox environments, and post‑go‑live support.
• Multi‑year contract (3‑year base term, optional two one‑year extensions) with defined SLAs, security (FERPA/GDPR), and WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility compliance.
• Vendor must meet insurance thresholds, provide a Certificate of Liability Insurance, and comply with the university’s smoke‑free policy; attendance at the pre‑bid meeting is mandatory.
