DESCRIPTION
The university is seeking a vendor to provide a fully managed single sign-on (SSO) and federated identity management solution, including managed services and integration support. The procurement represents a renewal and formal competitive review of the existing SSO managed service provider, with the objective of benchmarking costs and service levels while maintaining technical reliability, security, and fiscal responsibility.
The preferred solution must be offered as a fully hosted and managed SaaS service, with the vendor responsible for infrastructure management, patching, and upgrades. Vendors must also provide a separately priced managed private cloud option deployed within the university’s AWS or Azure tenant. The vendor will be expected to support ticket-based onboarding, modification, and decommissioning of SAML service providers and OIDC relying parties, with confirmation of 24x7x365 portal access.
The vendor must also be capable of maintaining custom web service connectors used during the university’s login flow through identity provider version migrations. The contract period will be three years. Questions must be submitted by August 28, 2026, and proposals are due by September 24, 2026.
