NASPO ValuePoint Business Consulting Services

This Request for Proposal (RFP) is a cooperative procurement initiative managed by NASPO ValuePoint to establish Master Agreements with qualified business consulting services vendors. The procurement is being conducted by the State of South Dakota in collaboration with other state and local government entities to leverage collective purchasing power and achieve superior value and pricing. The RFP seeks qualified vendors capable of providing business consulting services to state and local government agencies across multiple jurisdictions. All vendor proposals must be submitted by 12:30 PM Central Time on June 3, 2026, which serves as the binding deadline for participation. The primary objective is to obtain best value through competitive bidding while enabling individual state and local government entities to access consulting services at more favorable rates than would be available through individual procurements. The RFP was posted on April 16, 2026, and detailed solicitation information is available through New York's procurement system website at https://ogs.ny.gov/procurement/bid-opportunities or through the NASPO ValuePoint website at https://www.naspovaluepoint.org/solicitation-information/.
