RFP_26RFP19882_Exhibit B -W-9_SD.pdf

This is a Request for Proposal (RFP) exhibit file related to a South Dakota Department of Education procurement for a modern Content Management System (CMS). The State seeks competitive proposals for a hosted CMS solution capable of supporting three State websites: doe.sd.gov, history.sd.gov, and library.sd.gov. The new system must replace existing legacy platforms that rely on hard-coded updates and lack necessary functionality. The RFP aims to obtain a solution that improves accessibility, usability, content management efficiency, integration capabilities, brand cohesion, and technical compliance across all State websites. All written questions regarding the RFP must be submitted via email to Rochelle.kenzy@state.sd.us with the subject line "RFP#26RFP19882." Questions and their answers will be distributed to all offerors who submitted Letters of Intent, submitted questions, or requested the Q&A documentation before the proposal submission deadline.

Offerors and their agents are restricted from contacting any State employee other than the designated buyer of record during the solicitation and evaluation process. Any modifications to the RFP will be communicated to offerors using the same notification method as the question and answer distribution. Offerors may not rely on any statements, whether written or oral, that alter RFP specifications or terms unless they originate from the SD RFP Project Contact. Inappropriate contacts with State employees during the procurement process are grounds for suspension and exclusion from specific procurements.
