JUDGE TECHNICAL SERVICES, INC. — DIR-CPO-6267

JUDGE TECHNICAL SERVICES, INC. holds a deliverables-based information technology services contract under DIR-CPO-6267 with the Texas Department of Information Resources, valid through June 16, 2031, and open for use by state and local government entities, public education institutions, and other public bodies both within and outside Texas. The contract exclusively covers services across four technology categories: Application Development, Maintenance, Support, Upgrade, Migration, and Transformation including Enterprise Resource Planning; Business Intelligence, Data Management, Analytics, and Automation including Data Warehousing; IT Assessments, Planning, Independent Verification and Validation, Market Research, Procurement Advisory, and Contract Implementation Services; and Project and Program Management. No hardware or software products may be procured under this agreement, and resellers are prohibited. The contract operates as an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity vehicle with a base term of two years, extendable by up to 90 days and potentially renewed, with an estimated total value ranging from $14.2 million to $222.8 million based on ceiling limits across all service categories. Awards are made on a best-value trade-off basis, prioritizing technical merit over price, with 60% of evaluation weight assigned to respondent history and experience and 40% to the proposed contract marketing and customer support plan. A mandatory Supplier Evaluation Risk score of 1–7 is required for eligibility, and non-compliance with Texas HUB subcontracting requirements—including a 26% subcontracting goal or documented good faith effort—is grounds for automatic disqualification. Respondents must meet stringent certification and disclosure obligations, including reporting on past canceled contracts and submitting exceptions via Exhibit A1 with legally supported alternate language. The prime contractor is solely responsible for all performance, and subcontractor experience cannot be used to fulfill core qualifications under Exhibits B and C. All deliverables must satisfy specific acceptance criteria tied to KPIs and SLAs outlined in individual Statements of Work, which determine performance location—on-site, off-site, or on-premise—and timeline, including Agile or Waterfall methodologies. Vendor compliance includes adherence to accessibility standards such as PDAA and WCAG 2.1 AA, mandatory insurance coverage of $1 million general liability and Texas-compliant workers’ compensation, monthly progress reporting, and cybersecurity training when required at the task order level. Invoicing must reference the contract and PO number and cannot separately itemize the DIR administrative fee, with payments subject to Texas Government Code Chapter 225
