Freelance Services

The Department of General Services (DGS) in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is soliciting qualifications from contractors for a statewide Freelance Services Invitation to Qualify (ITQ) contract. The purpose is to establish a pool of qualified contractors eligible to respond to Requests for Quotes (RFQs) for various types of consulting services to Commonwealth agencies and Local Public Procurement Units. Contractors that meet the qualifications will be awarded a contract and can then submit proposals in response to future RFQs. The scope of services includes different types of consulting work, though the specific deliverables and key objectives are not outlined. Contractors must register in the Commonwealth's JAGGAER Supplier Management System to participate.

The ITQ does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The Commonwealth's standard procurement rules and policies would likely apply. No information is provided about any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor is there detail on any existing infrastructure or technology that may require integration. The potential award values or budget ranges for future RFQs are also not specified.
