Please be aware of important dates as you plan for IT procurements for the remainder of this fiscal year.
- The last day for your organization to submit IT procurements to the Statewide IT Procurement Office that you want to be awarded in FY 2024-2025 is Friday, March 28, 2025.
- Monday, June 9, 2025, is the last day for the Statewide IT Procurement Office to issue an approval to award a Request for Quote (RFQ), Invitation for Bid (IFB), State Term Contract Abnormal Quantities or an approval to award an amendment.
Submittals received by Friday, March 28, 2025, should provide sufficient time for the completion of the 10-step IT procurement process before the end of the fiscal year.
Even though the Statewide IT Procurement Office is providing you with these dates, we encourage you to submit your procurement requests as soon as possible.
The actual time of the procurement review and approval will depend on the complexity of the procurement and the vendor’s acceptance of the state’s terms and conditions.
SITPO will do its best to partner with you to meet year-end requirements.
Your procurements should be submitted to the Statewide IT Procurement Office by either the eProcurement tool or eForms for those agencies not using the state eProcurement tool.
Please distribute this notice to all business/application owners within your organization to help assist you with your procurement efforts.
If you have questions, please contact the Procurement Guidance Team at PGT@nc.gov or partner with your assigned IT procurement specialist.
