Information Technology Services Division Releases RFP to add contractors to Master IT Contract

August 10, 2007

A Request for Proposal (RFP) was released today to add new contractors to the Master Contract for IT Services, and allow existing contractors an opportunity to qualify for service categories for which they are not currently qualified. The current roster has 62 contractors qualified in 13 different service categories.

In the past year, ITSD received several inquiries from other vendors asking how to qualify for the Master Contract roster. Also, contractors already qualified in some service categories have requested to be added to additional categories as they expand and make changes to their staff resources.

The RFP is very similar to the 2006 RFP. Vendors are asked to submit proposals and qualifications for the existing 13 service categories. The service category descriptions and vendor qualifications remain the same.

RFP responses are due September 14, 2007. ITSD expects to complete the evaluation process and sign addendum agreements with the successful offerors in early October .

ITSD will issue another RFP to add to the Master Contract roster again in the fall of 2008, with an effective contract date in March 2009.

As a compliment to the Master Contract, ITSD is researching and developing an RFP for IT Staff Augmentation. While the Master Contract is project-focused, the new RFP and resulting contract will address agency needs for IT staff support on a short-term, temporary basis. The Staff Augmentation RFP is scheduled to be released later this fall.
