About this file
This Addendum #1 to Request for Services 26-87589 is issued by the Indiana Department of Administration Procurement Division on behalf of the Indiana State Department of Agriculture (ISDA) for the Ag-Retailer and Crop Advisor Soil Sampling Program. The addendum revises multiple sections of the original solicitation by removing language and requirements related to Minority & Women's Business Enterprise (MBE/WBE) programs and Indiana Veteran Owned Small Business (IVOSB) subcontractor commitments. Specifically, deletions were made to the RFP main document, Attachment B (Sample Contract Section 32), Attachment C (IEI Form Line 2), Attachment E (Business Proposal Section 2.3.9), Attachment G (Q&A Template), Attachment I (Pre-proposal Networking Form), and Attachment J (Attestation Form). The original solicitation required proposals by July 22, 2026, with mandatory pre-proposal conference on June 24, 2026, written questions due July 1, 2026, and an award recommendation targeted for August 25, 2026.
This addendum removes all diversity subcontractor set-asides that were originally included in the solicitation, which had previously required 8% Minority Business Enterprise, 11% Women's Business Enterprise, and 3% Indiana Veteran Owned Small Business participation goals based on the total bid amount. The removal of these program requirements eliminates the need for vendors to document outreach to certified businesses on the Division of Supplier Diversity site and provide rationale for declining MBE/WBE/IVOSB partnerships. The contract term remains three years with a not-to-exceed amount of $50,000 per vendor, with reimbursement at a fixed rate of $12.00 per acre for up to 400 acres per landowner per sampling season, along with two optional one-year extensions available.
