Consulting Services

Fairfax County is seeking qualified consultants to provide independent advisory services for the development of business and technical requirements for a new Pension Administration System, as well as ongoing support through the procurement and implementation phases. The contractor must operate with complete impartiality, ensuring no affiliation, financial interest, or partnership with any vendor competing in the subsequent PAS procurement, to maintain objectivity in requirements gathering and implementation support. This independence is critical to safeguard the integrity of the selection process and ensure that all recommendations serve the best interests of the Fairfax County Retirement Systems without bias. The contract will be awarded through a competitive negotiation process based on sealed proposals submitted in response to RFP 2000004365, with a deadline for responses set for September 4, 2026. In addition to requirements development and procurement support, the selected contractor may be offered an optional role to provide project management oversight and quality assurance during the implementation of the new system at the discretion of the Fairfax County Retirement Systems. The solicitation is open to firms capable of demonstrating relevant expertise in pension administration systems, with all proposals required to be submitted electronically via the designated platform. The contract will be performed in Virginia, and while no specific NAICS code or set-aside designation is provided, the agency emphasizes the need for full compliance with conflict-of-interest restrictions and operational independence throughout the engagement.
