Washington State Department of Retirement Systems, Tumwater, is searching for a record keeper for its $4.4 billion 457 plan, as well as three Plan 3 defined contribution plans whose investments are overseen by the $130.2 billion Washington State Investment Board, Olympia, spokesman David Brine said in an email.
Current record keeper Empower Retirement is eligible to rebid, Mr. Brine said.

The RFP is available on the department's website. Proposals are due at 4 p.m. PST on Dec. 10. A decision is expected Feb. 1.
