The purpose of this RFP is to select one or more vendors that can satisfy the State's need for Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) services. It is the intent of the state's Office of Technology (IOT) to contract with one or more vendors that provides quality IV&V services for IOT and other state agencies and governmental bodies.
All projects with $10,000,000 or more in IT development services or that are longer than twelve (12) months in duration must have an IV&V conducted by IOT or an independent 3rd party.
The Project also will be required to engage with IOT or a separate 3rd party vendor to employ metrics with weekly updates through project completion in order to provide visibility to all parties on project status and issues.
