The contract requires vendors to maintain general commercial liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 annual aggregate.

The contract term is twelve months, with a maximum potential contract duration not exceeding ten years, subject to state funding availability and appropriations. Vendors must certify compliance with various state and federal regulations, including non-discrimination policies, ethical standards, and workforce requirements, and must disclose any potential conflicts of interest or business operations that might impact their eligibility.
