The State of South Carolina Public Employee Benefit Authority (PEBA) is seeking a qualified vendor to modernize its legacy applications and databases. The effort involves converting Natural/Adabas code to Java, migrating Adabas databases to a modern platform, and delivering a fully operational, self‑sustaining system. The contractor must provide comprehensive analysis, design, implementation, testing, training, and post‑implementation support, while complying with strict security, data‑ownership, and on‑shore work requirements.
• Conduct discovery, code‑structure analysis, and data‑mapping of existing Natural/Adabas applications.
• Design and implement a Java‑based architecture and migrate data to a modern database, ensuring full integration with existing PEBA systems.
• Deliver extensive testing (unit, integration, UAT, performance), training, documentation, and knowledge transfer to PEBA staff.
• Provide a 12‑week Proof‑of‑Technology phase (capped at $250 k) followed by up to four renewal options, potentially extending the contract to five years.
• Maintain rigorous security, HIPAA, and data‑location compliance; all work must be performed within the United States, with no offshore subcontracting beyond 25 % of total value.
