Technology Procurement
ITD is responsible for reviewing and approving the acquisition of technology by state agencies. Acquisitions must meet state standards and be consistent with the agency's technology plan.
IT Purchase Request or Contract Review/Approval
Submitting a Purchase Request for Review
Before issuing competitive solicitations, including invitation for bids (IFB) and request for proposals (RFP), and non-competitive purchases, including proprietary or sole source purchase requests, where the anticipated procurement cost will exceed Purchase Approval Limits, send a copy of the solicitation to the Information Technology Policy and Planning Division of ITD for review prior to issuing the bid solicitation or non-competitive purchase request. (Email to itdprocurement@nd.gov)
- Send a cover letter or email explaining how the goods or services requested fit into the agency's information technology plan. In cases where the procurement does not align with the agency's IT plan, include justification for the departure from your plan. Attach a copy of the bid solicitation or alternate procurement request.
