About this file

This document is a set of vendor instructions for responding to a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). The RFP is seeking hourly professional service resources to expand the DCFS Jira implementation to include Jira Service Management and Work Management. The contract term is 24 months. Due to the COVID-19 emergency declaration, only electronic submissions will be accepted, and paper responses will not be accepted. Vendors are instructed on how to properly complete the required quote sections, including the General Tab, Items Tab, Terms and Conditions Tab, and Attachments Tab. Specific guidance is provided on pricing, with any pricing information entered in the Unit Cost field being locked until after technical evaluations.

The RFP states that any pricing, cost, or discount information entered in the Alternate Description field may result in disqualification. Vendors are also required to indicate whether any attachments contain pricing information. Failure to properly mark this may also result in disqualification. The RFP provides a link to a tutorial video on the pricing lockbox and required quote attachments.
