CSSD-0231-OOT2700000002-1 | Direct Award for UPS Batteries with Support and Warranty

The State of West Virginia, through its Department of Administration, Purchasing Division, has issued a direct award solicitation for GRC Software Maintenance and Support spanning four years, structured as a fixed-price, lump-sum annual contract. This non-competitive procurement, conducted under WV Code 5A-3-10c, requires vendors to provide comprehensive, all-inclusive annual support for a Governance, Risk, and Compliance platform aligned with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0, including full customization capabilities for security frameworks, control mappings, and state-specific requirements. The place of performance and delivery is the Office of Technology in Charleston, West Virginia, where the government will accept all deliverables. While no pricing details are populated in the solicitation, vendors must submit a yearly lump sum covering all technical specifications labeled 4.1 through 4.9, with no exclusions permitted. Proposals must be submitted in hard copy by July 30, 2026, to the designated purchasing office, and vendors are required to formally acknowledge receipt of all addenda—failure to do so results in disqualification. The contract is administered by Toby L. Welch as the primary point of contact, with invoices to be sent to the Office of Technology’s billing address. Despite extensive procedural documentation, there are no defined evaluation factors, formal contract clauses, packaging or labeling standards, military specifications, or accounting codes included in the solicitation, suggesting a streamlined administrative process focused on compliance with state-specific technical requirements and verified vendor acknowledgment rather than competitive evaluation or detailed physical delivery protocols.
