Section 1.0IntroductionContents:
The State of Florida, through the Department of Management Services, Division of State Purchasing is issuing this Request for Proposals (RFP) to obtain responses from potential Contractors to provide the Information Technology Consulting and Staff Augmentation services described in this competitive solicitation in the following listed Project Areas:
State Agencies and Other Eligible Users (OEUs) (“Customers”) will use Prime Contractors awarded in Project Areas 1, 2 and 3 to contract for work on specific projects and issue purchase orders (POs) for these project areas. The POs will include Task Orders and specify service levels and desired outcomes or expected “deliverables”. Customers will create a scope of work each time they desire to solicit services pursuant to this Contract. The scope of work will be incorporated into a Task Order which will be issued to the selected Contractor. The Task Order will, in most cases, require a Request for Quotes (RFQ) process. The Quotation Requirements for Task Orders are outlined in the table below:
Section 6.1 “Task Orders” of this solicitation addresses this process in detail. Customers will use “Project Area 4” when staff augmentation services from awardees that possess the technical skills are needed by the client organization on a contingent assignment basis. The requirements for a staff augmentation purchase order include the requisite educational qualifications and experience of the individual. An RFQ process is not required for staff augmentation procurement as all contracted rates and qualified positions will be published on the Contract resulting from this solicitation. Respondents should carefully review all Sections of this RFP with particular attention to Section 2 (PUR 1001), Section 4 (PUR 1000) and Sections 5 (Special Contract Conditions). All Sections of this RFP must be accepted, and will be incorporated into the Contract without modification. The State’s MyFloridaMarketPlace e-Procurement system (the “MFMP System”, “MFMP”) will be used to conduct this competitive event. The term of the contract resulting from this RFP shall be three (3) years from the date of execution. The contract resulting from this solicitation is anticipated to begin on or about September 1, 2009. Along with all other information contained in this solicitation, Respondents should consider the following issues in developing Responses:
Notwithstanding this general prohibition, in the event that the Contractor provides hardware or COTS software to the Customer in the performance of a Task Order, terms and conditions addressing such items are included in this contract. These provisions should not be construed by any party as authority to purchase hardware or COTS software from this Contract, independent of a larger IT Consulting Services solution.
