Instructions for Agencies

All IT Supplemental Staffing Program assignment requests will be submitted through the Vendor Management System (VMS) and will no longer be submitted through our website. Computer Aid, Inc. (CAI), the Managed Service Provider (MSP), is available to assist in this transition.

A completed Short Term Staffing Contract Hiring Addendum form is required for ALL Short Term IT Staffing Contract requests submitted in the VMS. The completed Staffing Contract Hiring Addendum form must be included as an attachment within the VMS requisition under the Approval/History page in the section titled “Justification Attachments.” Additional instructions can be located in the “Guide Me” Section on the VMS Homepage.

Important Note: Agencies that need to access the previous Short Term Staffing system (e.g., to obtain an SIT-1003 form to close a completed assignment) can access that information until June 30, 2016. However, no new requests can be issued through that website. All new requests must be submitted through the VMS.
