GIS Professional Services Contract Pool

Effective July 1, 2006, several categories of GIS professional services have been added to the North Dakota State Term Contract 095. This contract was originally established in 2005 to create a vendor pool for information technology professional services. The North Dakota GIS Technical Committee, working in cooperation with the Information Technology Department and the Office of Management and Budget, State Procurement Office awarded contracts to GIS vendors in the following professional service categories:

• GIS Project Manager
• GIS Business Analyst
• GIS Programmer/Analyst
• GIS Analyst/Technician
• GIS Data Services Specialist
• GIS Web Designer
• GIS Training

Multiple vendors have been awarded contracts in each of the GIS Contract Pool categories. State and local government agencies may use a structured work order request process to obtain GIS professional services through this contract. A primary benefit of using the contract is to make the procurement process more efficient by leveraging the master contract terms which have already been negotiated with the awarded vendors. It is also important to note that the creation of this vendor pool does not prevent agencies from selecting a vendor via the traditional RFP process.
