Dept of Education Website Content Management System

The State of South Dakota’s Department of Education is seeking a vendor to design, develop, and deploy a modern, enterprise‑grade Content Management System (CMS) to replace three legacy public‑facing websites (doe.sd.gov, history.sd.gov, library.sd.gov). The solution must support drag‑and‑drop editing, role‑based administration, WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility, integration with Power BI, ESRI maps, ServiceNow calendars, and Converge/Elavon payment processing, while preserving existing URLs and operating under the State’s Azure‑PaaS or approved vendor‑hosted environments. The contract includes a 5‑year base term with optional one‑year renewals, mandatory 90‑day post‑launch support, and extensive security, data‑export, and insurance requirements. • Deliver a fully functional CMS across three separate instances, migrate ~15 000 documents and 1 000+ pages, and maintain current branding and URL structures. • Provide integrations for Power BI, ESRI, ServiceNow, and payment gateway, plus accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA) and security (FedRAMP‑Moderate or SOC 2) compliance. • Offer remote training for five administrators, 90‑day post‑go‑live support, and optional multi‑year maintenance; comply with stringent cyber‑liability insurance, background‑check, and data‑residency requirements.
