This is a Vendor Change Details Report for Solicitation OEV25005123, issued by the State of Rhode Island Division of Purchases, establishing a Master Price Agreement (MPA 397) for Open Enrollment Disaster Recovery Services. The solicitation seeks qualified vendors to provide comprehensive disaster recovery and emergency response services across a broad range of scenarios, including natural disasters such as floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, and earthquakes, as well as human-made emergencies including hazardous material spills, infrastructure failures, bio-terrorism events, and significant IT disruptions. The contract period runs from March 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, with vendors able to submit proposals throughout the open enrollment period for potential inclusion on a qualified vendor list. When specific projects arise, agencies will conduct mini-bid processes requiring at least one quote from minority, women-owned, or veteran-owned business (MBE/WBE/VBE) certified vendors if available on the qualified list.

The report documents the addition of Addendum 5, dated May 21, 2025, to the solicitation. Vendors must maintain required insurance coverage including $1 million general liability, $100,000 workers compensation, and $1 million automobile liability, and must possess Rhode Island contractor licenses valid for the entire contract term. Participation is available to state agencies, political subdivisions, higher education institutions, municipal and state schools, and quasi-public agencies. A 1% contract administrative fee will be assessed on all purchase orders issued under the agreement. No specific total contract value is provided in the documentation, though the open-ended nature of the solicitation indicates significant potential across various disaster recovery specialties.
