From the meeting
The board received an update that the BEARS replacement project had been paused and reset after vendor defects were found during testing. Staff said the project still aims for renewed user acceptance testing in January 2027 and go-live around August 2027. The source also says AI-assisted contact center and workflow features remain part of the scope.
That makes this a live implementation issue, with follow-on remediation and support still in play.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will Alaska Department of Revenue issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Alaska Department of Revenue's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with Alaska Department of Revenue before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
