*While RFP VTA2011-126 supersedes prior RFPs for the services listed in the a la carte section, it also includes the ability to bundle and unbundle services. If your company was a respondent to a prior RFP, e.g. VTA 2010-112, you may, of course, utilize past response materials (up-dated to reflect any changes) in response to specific RFP inquiries. RFP VTA2011-126 does not preclude responses from existing vendors of the VTA, nor does it indicate a lack of satisfaction with existing service suppliers. It does reflect a reorganization of the work, and the resulting contract will likely address scope of work and pricing changes. We look forward to hearing from you.
