New CollegeWide Administrative Systems for Student, Finance, and Human Capital

St. Petersburg College in Florida has issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) to replace its existing Oracle PeopleSoft systems with a modern, comprehensive administrative platform covering student management, financial operations, and human resources. The solicitation, identified as contract number 04-25-26, seeks proposals exclusively from Ellucian, Oracle, and Workday, with the goal of selecting a single vendor capable of delivering a fully integrated, scalable solution. The project emphasizes thorough vendor evaluation through detailed questionnaires, including solution overviews, technical architecture, integration capabilities, and support strategies, with responses due by December 1, 2025. The contract size is estimated to range between 5 million and 20 million dollars, reflecting the scope and complexity of the system overhaul. The process involves multiple compliance and certification requirements, such as drug-free workplace attestations, foreign country control disclosures, and sworn statements regarding public entity crimes and coercion for labor. Vendors must also certify they are not participating in boycotts of Israel or involved in scrutinized companies lists under Florida statutes. Additional documentation includes affidavits affirming no coercion in labor practices and attestations confirming the absence of foreign government control. The college’s procurement process incorporates detailed questionnaires for solution and implementation vendors, emphasizing technical robustness, change management, and cost transparency. Overall, the initiative aims to modernize the college’s administrative infrastructure, improve operational efficiency, and ensure compliance with state and federal regulations, with a clear emphasis on vendor capability, transparency, and legal adherence throughout the selection process.
