The Arizona Department of Administration, State Procurement Office (the State), as authorized under A.R.S. § 41-2501 et seq. is seeking to establish one or more mandatory statewide Contracts on behalf of State Agencies, Boards, and Commissions, as well as members of the Arizona Cooperative Purchasing Program, and for their sole use, to provide Carrier and Broadband Provider Services.

The State anticipates awarding contract(s) with the intent to secure service coverage statewide. Whether or not it actually enters into any contracts, how many contracts it enters into, and how the work is awarded between those contracts are all at the State’s discretion. Furthermore, the State will use any awarded contracts on an as-needed basis, with no guarantee as to its actual spending under them.
The State reserves the right to accept any item or combination of items specified in the Solicitation, unless the Offeror expressly restricts an item or combination of items in its Offer, and conditions its response on receiving all items for which it provided a proposal. In the event of such restriction, the State will evaluate if an award on such a basis will result in the best value and is in the best interest for the State. The State may otherwise determine, at its sole discretion, that such restriction is non-responsive and deem the Offeror ineligible for further evaluation.

All offers are due on or before Friday, January 24th, 2025 @ 3:00pm PST (Arizona Time).  Do not wait until the last minute to submit your proposals.
