The Wythe County Board of Supervisors is seeking independent certified public accountants to submit proposals for a term contract to perform comprehensive financial auditing and annual cost allocation planning services. The procurement opportunity covers financial audit and cost allocation work for fiscal years ending June 30, 2025 through 2029. Qualified respondents must be certified public accountants capable of executing a full scope of financial review and reporting services as detailed in the procurement documents available at www.wytheco.org. The Request for Proposals (RFP) requires electronic or hard copy submissions to County Administrator Stephen D. Bear, with a strict submission deadline of Thursday, April 17, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. Proposals received after this time will be returned unopened. Interested firms can direct specific inquiries to Stephen D. Bear via phone at (276) 223-4500 or email at sdbear@wytheco.org. Electronic proposals can be emailed, while hard copies must be mailed to 290 South Sixth Street, Suite 350, Wytheville, VA 24382, clearly marked as "Proposal for Audit Services".

While the procurement documents do not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or vendor restrictions, the requirement for independent certified public accountants implies professional credentialing standards. The RFP appears to be an open competitive solicitation for professional accounting services without apparent limitations on firm size or ownership structure. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure that would require integration. Similarly, no specific budget range or award value is stated in the available documentation. The multi-year contract structure (covering fiscal years 2025-2029) suggests a potential for a substantial and sustained engagement for the selected accounting firm. Prospective respondents should carefully review the full scope of work available on the county website and ensure their proposal comprehensively addresses the financial audit and cost allocation planning requirements for Wythe County.
