The State will impose a contract administrative fee of 0.33 percent of total annual spend on eligible contracts, deducted at invoice payment.

No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in this solicitation. There is no guarantee of purchasing activity, and inclusion on the qualified vendor list does not constitute an award or commitment of business. The solicitation document does not specify award values or budget ranges; instead, pricing will be determined through individual quotes issued by user agencies based on their specific scope of work requirements. All submissions must be made electronically; late proposals, including those mailed, faxed, or emailed after the deadline, will not be accepted.
