DOC Contracting RFP
Listed below are the RFPs available for download, along with any related addenda. When you download an RFP, you will be required to register with your name and company information. You will not be required to register when downloading addenda to the RFP. You should periodically check this page for any addenda that have been issued, as no other notices will be sent to advise you. Addenda may be issued as late as the day before proposals are due, so you are encouraged to check for addenda until the very last day.  Failure to include all addenda in your proposal may cause your proposal to be determined non-responsive and to be excluded from consideration.
