Proposals must be submitted by August 11, 2026, to be considered for initial award, though submissions will be accepted on a rolling basis until March 13, 2029, the final date for consideration. Vendors previously awarded under RFP 2022-101 must submit a new response to remain on the approved vendor list, as their current status expires on August 31, 2026.
