About this file
This is an addendum to a Request for Proposal issued by the Indiana Department of Administration on behalf of the Family and Social Services Administration's Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services division for hearing aids, devices, and services under RFP 26-86494. The addendum removes all references to Minority & Women's Business Enterprise (M/WBE) and Indiana Veteran Owned Small Business (IVOSB) programs from the solicitation documents. Specifically, the changes eliminate the M/WBE Commitment Form (Attachment A), remove diversity-related language and requirements from the Sample Contract (Section 32 of Attachment B), revise the Indiana Economic Impact (IEI) Form to remove cost proposal references tied to M/WBE submissions, delete the Diversity Subcontractor Agreements section from the Business Proposal (Section 2.3.9 of Attachment E), remove the M/WBE Commitment option from the Q&A Template (Attachment G), eliminate M/WBE from the Pre-proposal Networking Form (Attachment I), and remove M/WBE and IVOSB language from the Attestation Form (Attachment J).
The addendum does not modify the core solicitation requirements, response deadlines, evaluation criteria, or contract terms established in the original RFP. Respondents should refer to the original RFP documents and other addenda for complete information regarding proposal submission dates, pre-proposal conference details, scope of work requirements, pricing structure, contract duration, and all other material terms. The removal of these diversity set-aside provisions represents a significant procedural change that affects how prospective vendors should structure their proposals and subcontracting arrangements.
