The FWCJUA is issuing a Quote Solicitation (QS) for the purpose of potentially purchasing an investment accounting and management software that provides a complete database for all investment instruments, specifically relevant to insurance companies utilizing both statutory accounting and GAAP accounting principles, to assist the FWCJUA in managing its investment portfolio.

The FWCJUA is searching for an investment accounting and management software solution to be utilized for investment accounting, financial reporting, portfolio management, and compliance monitoring. The software must be flexible, allow for both an individual segment view as well as a comprehensive view of all investments. Individual segment view would consist of either the type of investment (fixed income, certificate of deposits, money market funds, cash, etc.) or by subsidiary (FWCJUA currently has five but would like room for expansion if needed). The software would automate the calculations of both interest accruals and amortization on a single investment basis as well as include full reporting capabilities (both standard and adhoc reports that can be exported into excel or pdf format). Ideally, the software would interface with a statutory reporting software package, preferably TCP – Booke Seminars, and Microsoft Dynamics Great Plains General Ledger software. The software must be able to run in a Microsoft Windows Citrix/Terminal Server (2008R2) environment. The database should be able to utilize the FWCJUA’s existing dedicated Microsoft SQL server.

The FWCJUA is not a state agency. Accordingly, the QS process is not governed by the contracting procedures applicable to state agencies set forth in Florida Statutes and Rules. Any entity which responds to the QS must expressly acknowledge in its response its understanding that the contracting procedure requirements which apply to state agencies do not apply to the FWCJUA. Interested parties may obtain the QS on or after April 16, 2010 by written request to: Laura Torrence, Executive Director, FWCJUA, P. O. Box 48957, Sarasota, FL 34230 or by facsimile: (941)487-2525. Responses to the QS will be due at 12:00 p.m. (Eastern Time), May 6, 2010.
