The solicitation does not specify explicit set-aside designations, but it references a Resident Certification Number verification process through the Department of Workforce Services, which suggests potential preference for local Wyoming businesses. The procurement requires bidders to obtain resident certification numbers by the bid due date, indicating a potential advantage for Wyoming-based vendors. No specific budget range or award value is explicitly stated in the documents, and there are no mentions of incumbent vendors or existing technology integration requirements. The State of Wyoming ensures that minority business enterprises have full opportunity to submit bids and prohibits discrimination based on age, race, color, sex, creed, national origin, or disability status. Foreign corporations must obtain a certificate of authority from the Secretary of State before conducting business in Wyoming. The procurement allows for multiple awards if deemed in the state's best interest, with payment terms to be negotiated based on successful completion of deliverables and written acceptance of services.
