This document is an attachment to a Small Business Procurement Initiative for a state and local government contract opportunity. The initiative is being led by the Anytown State Department of Purchasing and a consortium of local government agencies.

The contract opportunity seeks providers for various information technology and professional services, including help desk support, custom software development, and enterprise IT consulting. The total estimated value of the contract is $25 million over an initial 3-year term, with two 1-year renewal options. Responses are due by December 15, 2018, and a mandatory bidder's conference is scheduled for November 30, 2018. The contract will be awarded in January 2019. This opportunity includes set-asides for small, minority, and women-owned businesses. The current incumbent providers have been in place for the past 5 years, and the funding for this contract will come from the state and local agencies' annual IT and professional services budgets.
