Sole Source to extend current engagement with MTS

The State of Colorado, Office of Information Technology, is pursuing a sole-source extension of its current engagement with Michigan Technology Services (MTS) for specialized IT services, with a due date of August 26, 2026.

This is a non-competitive procurement. The sole-source justification document supports the acquisition on the basis that MTS possesses unique capabilities and incumbent status such that competitive alternatives do not exist or would not be cost-effective. The justification cites specific technical requirements that cannot be adequately met through competitive bidding, though the attachment does not enumerate those requirements or their technical depth.

The procurement covers a framework for delivery of technology services to support state operations. Specific service components, deliverables, performance metrics, and required qualifications or certifications are not detailed in the sole-source justification itself, as those elements typically reside in the accompanying solicitation documents.

The estimated contract value, contract term, and detailed financial terms are not specified within the justification document. Funding will be drawn from existing state IT budgets and appropriations. The contract structure and any renewal options are to be negotiated and documented in the resulting agreement between the Office of Information Technology and MTS.

Place of performance includes Denver City and Denver County, Colorado. The procurement timeline reflects the compressed schedule typical of sole-source extensions: the due date of August 26, 2026 follows the posting date of August 21, 2026 by five days.
