The complete contract list is a research tool to help you prepare for upcoming opportunities.  You can download, save and sort the excel spreadsheet in whatever manner works for you.

You will find important information on this list:

• The Contract Number, which identifies the contract in our system;
• The state agency that requires the goods and services covered in the contract;
• The team within Purchasing Operations that oversees the solicitation process for the contract;
• The initials of the buyer who handled the contract;
• The name of the current vendor;
• A brief description of the goods and services covered in the contract;
• The value of the current contract;
• The planned expiration date for the current contract.
  

This list allows you to anticipate solicitations that might apply to your business in the near future.  Once an Invitation to Bid is posted under the Bids and Proposals section of our website, the deadline for responses can seem aggressive if you are not prepared.  Reviewing the complete contract list allows you to be ready for the Invitation to Bid when it is posted.

Please keep in mind that this list is a starting point - all information is subject to change.  The needs of agencies change over time, which impacts the goods and services they require to complete their missions.  In addition, changes occur in the contract process to improve efficiency in both the solicitation and the administration for state contracts.

CONTRACT LIST MODIFICATIONS (6/14/06)

Based on user feedback, Purchasing Operations modified the complete contract list.  These changes provide additional information for the business community.  The main modification is a new column entitled "Anticipated ITB Launch Date".  This is an estimate of the fiscal year and quarter that the project might be rebid.  This is only an estimate, since many factors could alter the anticipated rebid of a contract, such as:

• Non-recurring contracts:  Contracts that will not be rebid because there will not be a future or ongoing need for the commodity or service.
  
• Delegated authority:  Contracts that may be handled by departments other than Management & Budget due to delegated purchasing authority granted to them via statute, policy/procedure, or Memorandum of Understanding.
  
• Option years:  Most contracts include base and option years.  Base years are the number of years making up the initial contract period agreed to when the contract was executed (typically three to five years).  Option years are additional years that might be negotiated into a contract, which could extend the contract term by one, two, or three years.  Option years may or may not be exercised.
  

The contract list has also been separated by division (commodities, services, and information technology).

We encourage all vendors to continue to review the list of active  Invitations to Bid  on a weekly basis.

There are ongoing modifications to these lists that are intended to assist potential bidders.  We appreciate your patience as we make these improvements.
