All deliverables must be rigorously tested and maintained to meet these standards throughout the development lifecycle. The contract is structured as a subcontract under the Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget, with a posting date of July 20, 2026, and a response deadline of August 3, 2026. It falls under NAICS code 541511 for custom computer programming services and is performance-based across various locations.
