Oklahoma Information Services Act - Procurement Interagency Agreement

The Office of State Finance (OSF) and the Department of Central Services (DCS) signed an interagency agreement to form a partnership for the processing of the state's Information Technology (IT) and Telecommunication Procurement needs.

Agencies should continue to process IT and Telecommunication procurement needs through OSF according to statutes, thresholds and procedures developed (refer to OSF's Information Services Division web page for more information).

When submitting an OSF Form 115 Plan Approval (PDF version | Excel version) to OSF, agencies will need to include all of the required standards documents:

• specifications/scope;
• special provisions;
• sole source document;
• purchase order;
• OSF Form 115;
• quotes; 
• non-collusion; and
• agreement or contract

in addition to the following as applicable: 

• a suggested vendor list
• VPAT(s)
• proper PeopleSoft requisition form
• evaluation scoring tool

Upon completion of OSF's review, the documents will be forwarded either back to your agency or to DCS, if requested, just as it has in the past.

All exceptions to mandatory IT or Telecommunication statewide contracts should be submitted on an OSF Form 115, with details as to why the exception is needed. This request should also include all of the relevant information identified above. Effective Oct. 1, 2010, OSF will not approve exceptions from mandatory statewide IT and telecommunication contracts without an e-mail approval from DCS. Upon approval, OSF will either return the documents to your agency or forward them to DCS according to your request.

With the appointment of the State's Chief Information Officer, OSF may develop additional processes in the future, in which case you will be notified.

We value your input and would like to hear about your ideas or suggestions in identifying potential Information Technology or Telecommunication statewide contracts. If you would like to share your ideas please send them to the OSF Service Desk at: helpdesk@osf.ok.gov.
