The contract term is one year beginning November 1, 2026, with the State retaining renewal options for up to two additional one-year terms, with renewal notice required at least 30 days before each expiration. Pricing is evaluated using a normalized cost formula. Evaluation is weighted toward technical qualifications—vendor experience and past performance (60 maximum points)—with pricing at 40 maximum points. Work plan is pass/fail. Contract award is anticipated by October 1, 2026. Written questions are due July 31 at 2:00 PM. Default triggers include forfeiture of performance guarantees upon receipt of three formal vendor complaints, three failing inspection ratings within six months, or failure to comply with contract complaint procedures.
