If I may humbly suggest, another path forward is to consider joining the OLE libraries in the work of building up the apps that will operate on the FOLIO platform. You will probably be working to write detailed specifications anyway. The difference is that you'll be working with a cohort of libraries to describe exactly what you need in a user-experience-first process (https://wiki.folio.org/display/PLATFORM/The+FOLIO+User+Interface+Prototype) rather than trying to match existing systems to desired functionality. The risk is, of course, that the project may move at a speed that doesn't match your needs.

A great way to hear more about the state of the project is to join the FOLIO Forum on Wednesday for an update on the roadmap and a demonstration of the project so far: https://www.openlibraryenvironment.org/archives/338

Here at Villanova, we'd be interested to see what other libraries had put into their requests. While our ILS update is a bit down the pike (we are keeping our eyes on FOLIO's development at the moment), we think it would be a worthwhile exercise to develop our own RFP so we can do some preliminary planning. Thanks everyone!
