Central Repository Services

The government authority located in Pennsylvania seeks a vendor to operate a secure, long-term central repository for student transcripts. The selected contractor must ingest, store, safeguard, and service paper and digital records from open and closed private licensed schools and institutions of higher education. Scope duties require the vendor to establish school upload protocols, facilitate third-party transcript requests and education verifications, establish relevant service fees, enable transcript overwrites for updated files, and maintain a disaster recovery plan. The repository currently holds approximately 940,000 records, with additional historical and future transcripts expected. Only USA organizations may bid, and the contractor will perform the work offsite. The buyer requires proposals to establish the budget for a five-year contract period. Bidders must submit all questions no later than September 24, 2026. Bidders can submit responses digitally via email or online.
