In recent years, the State has spent approximately $9,000,000.00 annually on IT Professional Services
with four vendors. The State can neither project nor guarantee a specific volume of business over the
term of any contract that may result from this ITB. The State encourages vendors to view the volume
of State spending for IT Professional Services when submitting pricing. The pricing, quality, and
service levels obtained through this process are expected to be more aggressive than the State may
currently have.
