Research Administration Platform

The issuing agency is seeking a comprehensive, end-to-end research administration platform to manage complex research awards. This solution must handle proposal development and submission, negotiation, award setup, compliance tracking, subaward management, reporting, and closeout. The agency aims to eliminate reliance on offline spreadsheets and shadow systems by establishing complete system-based functionality for proposal tracking, award management, financial visibility, and reporting. The requested platform must include a comprehensive suite of research administration and compliance modules. These modules must operate as an integrated ecosystem, either natively or through secure data sharing using standards-based middleware techniques. All components must support seamless workflow orchestration, shared data models, and unified reporting capabilities. The selected platform must comply with federal award requirements, accessibility standards, state laws, FedRAMP cloud security, AI compliance, and institutional policies. Only onshore organizations based in the United States are eligible to bid on this opportunity. The agency expects the performance of the work to take place offsite. The agency is looking for budget proposals to cover a contract period of four years. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 8, 2026. Responses can be submitted digitally via email or through an online portal.
