Eligible Entities must develop a written Statement of Work and attach it to the COMMBUYS RFQ. The engagement/project will be awarded to the vendor deemed most responsive to the Statement of Work as evaluated by the awarding authority.

It is considered best practice to seek at least three quotes for all engagements; however, multiple quotes for engagements under $10,000 are not required to ensure price is appropriate. Quotes must be obtained for all engagements that exceed $10,000.W). Any work awarded under this method may not subsequently add tasks that exceed the $10,000 threshold.
