Contracting With Solution Partners for Contact Center Services

To get started, follow the steps below for obtaining a Delegation of Procurement Authority (DPA). With a DPA, your agency retains and manages all aspects of the procurement process, so once the delegation request is approved, your agency takes over from there. You’ll have full control of all aspects of the procurement and once awarded, you work directly with the selected vendor.

Delegation of Procurement Authority Steps

Step 1: Review the following documents:

Step 2: Complete and return the signed Request Form [DOC - 44 KB] along with a copy of your Certificate of Appointment (SF1402/Warrant).

These are the items to complete on the form:
