Contract Summary ITS60 Category 1 (ITS60) is a Statewide Contract for Cloud Solutions and related services, including installation, implementation, customization, training, support, and maintenance. Cloud Solutions comprise Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). This is the first Statewide Contract to offer IaaS and PaaS. SaaS is also available under ITS75, the Software and Services Contract. Additional vendors will be added over time.

This business-to-business relationship requirement applies to all Large Procurements for goods and services, which were historically defined as those expected to exceed $150,000 in total spending. Effective July 1, 2021, Large Procurements will be defined as those expected to exceed $250,000 in annual spending.

Executive departments should take into consideration contracted vendors SDP commitments when evaluating responses.

Specifically, the following fields of the new SDP Plan Form correspond to the goals stated above:

Type of information collected from bidders Possible use of the information by the SST SDP focus statement Assess the bidder’s level of integration of supplier diversity into company operations. SDP policy link or attachment (if any)

Additional creative initiatives (if any)

SDP commitment – subcontracting

Evaluate the bidder’s SDP commitment.

SDP commitment – ancillary

SDP commitment – total

Company average gross annual revenue If deemed necessary by the Agency or Statewide Contract

Strategic Sourcing Team (SST) and included in the evaluation criteria, consider the bidder’s company size during the evaluation of the ancillary SDP commitments and total prior year spending.

How To Purchase From The Contract

• If soliciting multiple quotes: Solicit quotes and select and purchase quoted item in COMMBUYS This COMMBUYS functionality provides a mechanism to easily obtain quotes, as specified by the Contract. The buyer would create a Release Requisition, and then convert it to a Bid. After approval by the buyer approving officer, the bid is then sent to selected vendors to request quotes. Buyers must include “ITS78 RFQ” when entering information in the Description field.

For a description of how to complete this purchase in COMMBUYS, visit the Job Aids for Buyers webpage, and select:

The COMMBUYS Bids section, and choose the How to Request Quotes from Vendors on Statewide Contracts job aid OR the Quick Reference Guide (QRG) section, QRG – How to Post a Bid to Receive Quotes from Vendors on a Statewide Contract.

Additional Information/FAQs

Understanding the Vendor’s Contract Terms As noted above, this contract is based on a procurement conducted by NASPO ValuePoint. The vendors’ “Master Contracts” are found on the Contracts tab at https://www.naspovaluepoint.org/portfolio/71/. Attachment A to the NASPO ValuePoint RFR is the “NASPO ValuePoint Master Agreement Terms and Conditions,” and Exhibits 1-3 to Attachment A are the SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS terms respectively. Vendors had the ability to negotiate these terms; each vendor’s specific Master Agreement is found at the link above. Also included are any later amendments to the vendor’s Master Contract, including addition of new products and services and, if applicable, amendments to Attachment A and Exhibits 1-3.

The vendors’ ITS60 contracts are created using a Participating Addendum (PA), which amends the vendors’ contracts by adding Massachusetts-specific terms to their NASPO ValuePoint contracts. These PAs are attachments to the vendor-specific contracts on COMMBUYS.

Identifying Vendors who offer specific products and services As there are only a few vendors on the contract at this time, the most comprehensive way to do this is to review the vendor information on the Contracts tab at https://www.naspovaluepoint.org/portfolio/71/. It is not necessary to request quotes from vendors who do not offer the products/services you are seeking. However, you may instead use the solicitation-enabled contract on COMMBUYS to request quotes from all the vendors.

If the Needed Product Can Not be Found If a product or service cannot be provided by any ITS60 or (for SaaS products only) any ITS75 vendors, and is not available through any of the Software Publisher-specific Statewide Contracts (currently ITS64, Oracle, ITS55, IBM, and ITS65, ESRI but check the ITS Contract User Guide page to see if any have been added or dropped) then the product is considered to be unavailable under Statewide Contract. In that case, you may procure it via whatever method is required based on the scope of the purchase. To determine the procurement method, State Agencies may consult Appendix D of the Best Value Procurement Handbook; other entities must consult their own procurement regulations. Your procurement file must document that you requested quotes from all ITS75 (SaaS products only) and ITS60 (SaaS, IaaS, or PaaS) vendors and include their responses, if any, OR may include instead a letter or email from the Cloud Services Provider explicitly stating that the Cloud Services Provider does not allow any of the vendors on ITS75 or ITS60 to resell their products. It is not necessary to obtain OSD's approval to conduct your own procurement or otherwise purchase software that is not available under any Statewide Contract.
