Cloud-Based Financial Aid Verification Solution

The agency is seeking a comprehensive, cloud-based, vendor-hosted financial aid verification solution to modernize and streamline its financial aid workflows. This platform must support students, parents, and staff throughout the verification process by providing secure document management, communications, reporting, and integration with the university's student information system. The system must manage applications selected for federal verification and offer automated comparison functionality to help staff identify changes and discrepancies in application data. The requested scope of work covers a secure platform where students and parents can upload, download, and review documents in common file formats, including documents, images, photos, and PDF files. The agency requires the ability to configure and manage verification workflows by verification type, such as federal, C-code, and institutional, as well as by student populations. The solution must also identify and resolve duplicate records, support the attachment of documents from external sources, and track verification record changes over time to support compliance reviews. Bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States to be eligible for this opportunity. The selected vendor will perform all work offsite. The agency is looking for budget proposals for a contract period that will last for five years. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 12, 2026.
