About this file
This is a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the State of Montana for a Master Contract for IT Services, specifically aimed at adding new IT service providers to an existing contract roster. The RFP, numbered SPB-RFP-2020-0226T, was released on 12/5/2019 with a response deadline of 1/17/2020, and will qualify vendors to be added to a master contract that runs through June 30, 2026. The contract uses a two-tier model where Tier One focuses on qualifying vendors based on company IT project experience and references, while Tier Two will involve specific agency requirements, detailed statements of work, and more specific selection criteria.
The current master contract is in its fourth year and already includes 139 qualified IT services companies. Companies currently on the master contract are not required to respond to this solicitation. The RFP covers a wide range of computing services, including advisory and research services, cloud services, data center services, disaster recovery, document management, GIS services, internet services, IT staff augmentation, network services, project management, and quality assurance services. Vendors will be evaluated primarily on their project experience and references in Tier One, with rates, costs, and staff qualifications to be addressed in the subsequent Tier Two process through a Contractor Engagement Proposal (CEP) system via the Montana Acquisition and Contracting System (eMACS).

The State of Montana (State) has published this Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Master Contract for IT Services, a term contract currently in its fourth year, with a roster of 139 already qualified IT services companies. (** Companies currently on the master contract DO NOT NEED to respond to this solicitation.)
Companies qualifying for contracts as a result of this RFP will be added to the roster and serve the remainder of the contract term, expiring June 30, 2026.
The Contract is a two-tier model.
Tier One consists of this RFP, which will qualify vendors to be on the approved roster for the Master Contract. The selection criteria for vendors to be placed on the roster consist primarily of company IT project experience and references.
Rates/cost and staff qualifications will not be part of Tier One, and thus not included in this RFP.
They will be included in Tier Two of the process.
Tier Two of the process is issuance of a Contractor Engagement Proposal (CEP). The CEP consists of a detailed description of the specific agency requirements (Statement of Work, or Position Description for IT staff augmentation), the selection criteria, and weighting that will be used in the Tier Two selection process. CEPs are processed via the Montana Acquisition and Contracting System – eMACS. When a contractor is awarded a CEP, a Statement of Work (SOW), or a Position Description, is finalized with the ordering agency and executed as an addendum to the Master Contract.
