The initial contract term runs October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. DCNR intends to establish a multi-year agreement renewable annually for up to five years, provided the cumulative contract value does not exceed $25,000 over the entire term. Pricing must remain consistent in products, services, specifications, and deliverables throughout the contract duration. Price escalation requests may be considered if material or labor costs significantly increase, provided increases do not exceed industry-specific price indices or the Consumer Price Index and cannot exceed 5 percent of annual contract cost.
