A vendor Q&A period will be held from April 8 to April 13, 2021.

The ITB is subject to a micro business and veteran-owned micro business price preference of up to 10% and 15% respectively.

Pricing will be publicly available within 24 hours of the due date, and the State reserves the right to seek additional discounts or award separately if the quantity is sufficiently large to realize cost savings.
