How do Connecticut DAS Contracts Work?

CT DAS Contracts, or Connecticut Department of Administrative Services Contracts, provide an opportunity for customers, such as state agencies, municipalities, and eligible organizations, to access a wide range of goods and services from pre-approved vendors. Here’s how CT DAS Contracts work from the customer’s perspective:

  1. Identifying Needs: As a customer, you first identify your specific needs for goods or services. This could include anything from office supplies and furniture to construction services or IT solutions.
  2. Accessing Contract Opportunities: The Department of Administrative Services (DAS) regularly posts contract opportunities on their website or through the DAS Contracting Portal. These opportunities outline the requirements, specifications, and terms of the contracts available.
  3. Reviewing Contract Details: When you find a contract opportunity that aligns with your needs, you review the contract details provided. This includes understanding the scope of work, pricing, duration, and any specific requirements or qualifications.
  4. Submitting a Purchase Request: If the contract opportunity meets your requirements, you submit a purchase request to the appropriate department within your organization. This request outlines the specific goods or services you need and references the relevant CT DAS Contract.
  5. Vendor Selection: The DAS evaluates vendor proposals or bids in response to the contract opportunity. They consider factors such as price, qualifications, past performance, and compliance with the contract requirements. Based on this evaluation, the DAS selects the vendor(s) that best meet the criteria.
  6. Contract Utilization: Once the DAS awards the contract to the selected vendor(s), you can begin utilizing the contract. This typically involves contacting the vendor directly to place orders or request services. You may need to provide the contract number or reference the CT DAS Contract in your communications.
  7. Contract Compliance: As a customer, you are responsible for ensuring that the vendor complies with the terms and conditions of the contract. This includes monitoring the vendor’s performance, reviewing deliverables, and reporting any issues or concerns to the DAS if necessary.
  8. Contract Renewal or Termination: At the end of the contract term, the DAS may choose to renew the contract if the vendor has performed satisfactorily. Alternatively, the contract may be terminated if there are issues with performance, non-compliance, or if your organization’s needs have changed.

By leveraging CT DAS Contracts, customers can streamline their procurement process, access pre-approved vendors, and benefit from competitive pricing and terms. It provides a convenient and efficient way to meet your organization’s needs while ensuring compliance with state procurement regulations.
