Solicitation RFP 102226 is a request for proposals issued by Sourcewell, a State of Minnesota local governmental agency, to establish Master Agreements for the provision of uncrewed systems, operations and management software, professional services, and managed services. The objective of this solicitation is to achieve best value and favorable pricing through collective volume for participating entities, which include state governments, agencies, institutions of higher education, and political subdivisions such as cities, counties, and school districts. The initial term of the Master Agreement is ten years with no standard extensions, although Sourcewell may consider extensions under exceptional circumstances provided that vendors submit an annual certification of compliance with all mandatory minimum requirements and technical specifications. For participating agreements executed by the State of Illinois, specific legal and administrative requirements apply. These include a maximum total term of ten years, mandatory registration in the Illinois Procurement Gateway and BidBuy, and adherence to the Illinois Freedom of Information Act. Payments are governed by the State Prompt Payment Act, and all claims must be filed exclusively with the Illinois Court of Claims. Furthermore, Illinois agreements are contingent upon the availability of funds and may be terminated without penalty if the Illinois General Assembly or federal sources fail to make necessary appropriations. Vendors may also be required to meet Illinois Business Enterprise Program and small business goals. Responses must be submitted via the Sourcewell Procurement Portal by October 22, 2026.
