ERP and Related Software Implementation Services

Tarrant County is soliciting proposals to migrate its on-premise SAP R/3 Enterprise Core Component (ECC) system to SAP’s Cloud ERP Software as a Service platform, along with integrated cloud solutions. The procurement is conducted under solicitation number F2026148, with responses due by August 24, 2026, and is classified under NAICS code 541512 for information technology services. The contract requires the selected vendor to implement, configure, and support the new SaaS environment while ensuring continuous compliance with security and data sovereignty requirements. All Tarrant County data must remain within the 48 contiguous United States, encrypted both at rest and in transit, and accessible only through auditable, immutable logs. The vendor must maintain system availability in alignment with the CIA triad and respond to any security incident within 48 hours, providing immediate oral and written notification. Annual SOC 2 Type II or equivalent audit reports must be submitted, and the vendor must grant full access for audits of systems, data centers, policies, and personnel at any time during contract performance. The vendor is required to ensure all personnel with access to county systems undergo fingerprint-based criminal background checks, with costs covered by the county, and must designate a primary information security contact who remains available throughout the contract term. Subcontractor actions are bound by the same obligations as the prime vendor, and assignment of contract rights without written consent from the Tarrant County Purchasing Agent is prohibited. Indemnification clauses hold the vendor responsible for defending the county against all claims arising from its operations or those of its subcontractors. Invoices must be submitted via email to sap-invoices@tarrantcountytx.gov or by mail to the Tarrant County Auditor’s Office in Fort Worth, referencing the purchase order number, with no use of federal invoicing systems like WAWF or IPP. Evaluation of proposals will consider bidder competency, past performance with the county, litigation history, and demonstrated good-faith efforts to include Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) participants, though specific weighting factors or trade-off methodology are not publicly detailed. The county retains the right to waive informalities and award based on best interest, and the contract may be terminated for non-performance, failure to maintain security clearances, breach of data handling rules, or default on prior obligations. No contract value, line-item pricing, or delivery schedules are disclosed in the solicitation materials.
