IT Procurement Services RFP

The Institute of International Education (IIE) seeks to establish a preferred‑partner pool to provide end‑to‑end IT procurement services for its global programs. The selected vendor(s) will handle requirements gathering, market sourcing, quotation preparation, purchase order execution, contract negotiation, logistics coordination, asset inventory management, lifecycle support, cost optimization, and vendor relationship management. Evaluation will weigh financial stability, procurement execution capability, cost competitiveness, asset‑management expertise, and relevant experience. No minimum volume is guaranteed; work will be allocated via task‑specific SOWs, mini‑competitions, or direct requests over a five‑year renewable term. Estimated annual spend is $300‑$600 K, with a 120‑day price‑validity requirement and net‑30 payment terms. • Full‑cycle IT procurement (hardware, software, cloud, networking) across all IIE programs. • Mandatory compliance with ISO 27001 or SOC 2 Type 2, NIST CSF, and prohibition of Huawei/ZTE equipment. • Vendor must support asset tracking via ServiceNow/Microsoft Intune and provide reporting dashboards. • Evaluation criteria: 20 % finance, 30 % procurement execution, 15 % cost, 15 % asset management, 20 % experience.
