Responses are due by 2 PM ET on September 6, 2024.
The anticipated term of this agreement will be for three years commencing with the fiscal year ending September 30, 2024, with the option of auditing the financial statements for each of the two subsequent fiscal years (up to five years maximum).
This RFP is a method of competitive solicitation under CSC Leon’s Purchasing Regulation. Those interested in submitting a Response are to comply with all terms and conditions described in this solicitation located at https://cscleon.org/announcements/.
During the evaluation phase, a solicitation committee will independently evaluate all Responses, except those deemed non-responsive, against the published evaluation criteria. The scores of each solicitation committee member will be aggregated and then reviewed by the solicitation committee at a public meeting to reach consensus on a final ranking and recommend Contract award. The CSC Leon Governing Council will take up the recommendation at a subsequent public meeting and make the final decision concerning Contract award. CSC Leon will determine final contract terms upon selection.
