Quotes are due by 10:00 a.m. CST on September 9, 2021, and all requested items must be delivered by September 28, 2021. The BOA has a term from the date of final signature through June 30, 2022, and the State reserves the right to purchase additional items during the agreement term. Vendors must comply with the required certifications and disclosures outlined in the Forms A and Forms B documents, which include standard state contracting requirements related to ownership, revenue, employment, minority/diversity status, and compliance with various state laws and regulations.
