Personnel with facility or information access are subject to background checks, and the contractor must use E-Verify.

Pricing must be submitted on the Mandatory Pricing Schedule and must include all costs, fees, licenses, and expenses as the contractor's sole compensation. DPS guarantees no minimum compensation and makes no payment until the Contract Monitor approves the commodities or services and authorizes invoicing. Funding is subject to DPS budgetary constraints, and pricing and terms cannot change after award. The contract term is one year from the effective date. Bidders must provide evidence of financial ability through audited statements for the last two years, a Dun & Bradstreet Business Information Report, or a detailed statement of financial stability.
