Summary
The North Dakota Information Technology Department is soliciting information from vendors experienced in managed web-hosting and content-management solutions to replace its on-premises Drupal platform that supports 76 production sites across 65 agencies. The RFI seeks vendor approaches for a vendor-managed, cloud-based platform providing centralized governance, WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility compliance, Azure AD authentication, and a per-site pricing model while preserving state data ownership and export capability. Respondents are asked to provide technical approach, implementation and ongoing cost estimates (licensing, maintenance), timelines, and other considerations for migration and long-term managed hosting.
