2. Will the State accept CJIS compliance letters of attestation from a FedRAMP
Moderate baseline pending final CJIS audit, or must the proposed SaaS
environment already host live CJIS production workloads at contract award?
The State does not understand the question, and is open to hearing clarification at the
Bidder's Conference
3. What is the current platform/vendor for the legacy message switch and
criminal history database, and will the State provide data schemas, interface
specifications, and database export scripts to facilitate migration and parallel- Vendor = CPI, Platform = OpenFox. We will facilitate data migration to the extent that we

can.
4. Please confirm the relative weighting of technical approach, vendor
experience/past performance, and cost in the best-value evaluation
methodology.
While exact values cannot be provided, each will have significance during evaluation.
5. Does the State expect a single “big-bang” cutover or will modules (e.g.,
NCIC/NLETS switch, CCH, admin tools) be accepted in staggered releases? If
phased, please supply the desired sequence and target go-live dates for each
module.
Given the current co-location of the switch and CCH, a single cutover is preferred.

Would the State consider alternative commercially reasonable approaches to
the Service Credit requirements, including mutually agreed contractual remedies
and service level provisions in lieu of the prescribed service credit structure
outlined in the RFP?
Yes

Missing requirements
CJIS Companion Requirements – Line
38 35, Section 3.2.10
Missing requirements
1. Would the state of Vermont be open to having the solution hosted in the
39
State’s cloud tenant, operated and managed by the vendor?
not a requirement, it stands as a heading for 3.2.9. 3.2.9: An orderly approach to security
responsibilities requires personnel to track authorized users, document system connections,
enforce screening requirements, verify security controls, and promptly report incidents.
Vendors can achieve this by maintaining inventories, updating system documentation,
following State screening policies, performing control evaluations, and ensuring staff
understand incident reporting expectations
missing requirement, no response
Yes, provided the vendor ensures the solution in the cloud environment complies with CJIS
Security Policy.
2. Is the state of Vermont open to purchasing software/cloud subscription on a
separate contract (via the State’s reseller of choice) and contracting with the
vendor only for the service? (The vendor will provide the State specification of
40
the software that needs to be purchase, buying through a state contract is
anticipated to be financially advantageous to the State.)
The state will consider legal procruement methods that meet the functional and nonfunction
requirements of this initiative.
1. The RFP indicates a contract start date of July 1, 2027 with a 12-month
41
implementation period. Does this timeline apply to Scope E (Procurement and
Contracting)? Please clarify how procurement activities required to support
CJIX implementation would be executed prior to that date. Alternatively, is an
earlier start anticipated for Scope E?
The contract start date represents the beginning of the Execution Phase, as procurement
and contracting (creating the contract) will need to be completed ahead of this date. The
team expects vendors to work on a minimal basis with the State to effect a completed and
reiewed contract.
2. The Bidder Response Form appears oriented toward solution
42
implementation scopes (e.g., technology capabilities, functional/system
requirements). For vendors bidding solely on Scope E (Procurement and
Contracting), can the State clarify which sections of the Bidder Response Form
are required to be completed to be considered responsive? Additionally, are
alternative or supplemental formats acceptable for describing procurement
and advisory capabilities?
The State acknowledges that the Bidder Response Form has elements that may not be
applicable to Scope E. Bidders are advised to respond 'Not Applicable' to any section which
they deem irrelevant to their proposal. Bidders may include materials they feel relevant to
describing their procurement and advisory capabilities in their Technical Response. Bidders
are reminded that only content marked for redaction will be withheld from public records
requests.
3. Could the State provide more specificity around the scope of E in terms of
timeline and deliverables? To aid with preparing an accurate proposal, can the All procurement activities shall be executed according to the standards set within State
State clarify the expected depth of involvement for Scope E across the full CJIX Bulletin 3.5. The number and complexity of procurement events shall be determined as the

roadmap to sequence and execute procurement activities.
4. The RFP states that vendors must be registered with the Vermont Secretary
of State and obtain a Business Account Number to be awarded a contract. Can
the State confirm that registration is only required prior to contract execution,
44
rather than at the time of proposal submission?
Yes, we can confirm registration is only required prior to contract execution

2. Regarding scope A, what are all the components that would be necessary for
46
a Complete Solution response?
Message Switch, CCH, Mugshot Application, Archiving Application
3. Regarding scope B, how would a vendor know which subset modules that
are a target for replacement? Could you provide some specificity regarding
47
which subset modules are needed?
Message Switch, CCH, Mugshot Application, Archiving Application
4. The RFP permits bidders to submit proposals for any or all scopes, except
Scope E. We are considering a proposal in which we would provide custom
SaaS subset modules under Scope B, excluding the message switch, and also
provide the related modular architecture, implementation management, and
integration services under Scope C, including integration with either the
existing message switch or a future replacement message switch selected by
the State. As those replacement modules are implemented, we would also
expect to perform related decommissioning activities for the corresponding
legacy components under Scope D. Is the State’s intent that a single bidder
may propose this combined Scope B/C/D approach, and if so, should the
bidder present the work as one integrated proposal with separate scope,
48
deliverable, and pricing sections for B, C, and D, or as separate standalone
proposals for each scope?
Bidders may submit an integrated proposal in their technical submission. Please distinguish
between scopes B, C and D in the submitted pricing proposal.
5. Can you expound on the generic use cases alluded to by the following
statement in section 2.3 “…application and management system that provides Users of the system, whether identifying as an individual, division, or agency/organization,

perform maintenance, does the State have a specific approved technical stack
or any prohibited technologies according to the Agency of Digital Services

that meet the business requirements will be considered.
9. Does the State anticipate a single prime integrator across all awarded
scopes, or independent contracts managed directly by the State? If the former,
53
what authority will the system integrator have over other vendors, legacy
vendors, agency technical teams, and external partners?

What specific technical hurdles or proprietary dependencies currently exist that
might hinder the systematic deconstruction of the targeted parts of the
58

5. How does the current CCH system interfaces with VT TRIPS, VCCRIS,
CAD/RMS, existing VLETS message switch, and other external systems?

In our experience implementing CCH solutions, it takes time with business users
to define State-specific configurations and business rules across the various
capabilities (e.g., Arrest, Disposition, Rap sheet, Corrections status, Rap Back,
Agency Maintenance, etc.), to create Interface Control Documents with interface
partners, to implement the State-specific configuration, and perform testing. Is
