The CDOC has established a preference for Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses based in Colorado as part of its evaluation criteria, though this does not restrict other organizations from bidding. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. The CDOC reserves the right to award the contract to a single bidder or divide the award among multiple bidders as deemed in the State's best interests. No specific budget range or award value is provided in the available documentation. All interested vendors must be registered on the Colorado Vendor Self Service website prior to submission to be considered responsive.
