The contract, identified as DFS-Trades-2022, is a rolling enrollment solicitation with bids accepted at any time. The contract term is two years with four, two-year renewal options, for a total maximum term of ten years. The annual expenditure is estimated at $15,000, with a total estimated amount of $90,000 over the life of the contract. Pricing may be based on hourly rates or quoted lump-sum pricing. Evaluation criteria include qualifications/references, price, warranty period, and an additional 5 points awarded to Small Business Purchasing Program (SBPP) registered companies.
