The contract is subject to Connecticut state contract compliance requirements under Public Act 15-5, which includes significant set-aside provisions and non-discrimination statutes. Specifically, a mandatory 25% of the state-funded portion must be set aside for subcontractors certified by the Connecticut Department of Administrative Services, and contractors must demonstrate good faith efforts to meet these set-aside goals. While no specific budget range or estimated total value is disclosed in the solicitation documents, vendors must comply with the state's subcontractor certification requirements to be eligible for the contract.
