The following are Willing and Qualified vendors

The following is a list of agreements which outline services that can be provided by multiple providers, as long as the providers are willing to provide services as outlined in a standard contract and meet minimum qualification criteria.

The Procurement Justification Form describes required services and minimum qualifications and will remain posted for duration of contract. If any providers have questions about providing the described services, please contact the contract administrator listed on the Procurement Justification form.

The state may terminate any contract based on a “willing and qualified” justification if the state determines that:

1. The willing and qualified vendor failed or refused to perform its contractual obligations;
2. The willing and qualified vendor’s performance was unsatisfactory including, but not limited to, the quality and timeliness of services provided; or
3. The willing and qualified vendor no longer meets required qualifications for those services or has the ability to perform the services as specified.

Please Note: The table below provides a link to the issuing Department’s “Waiver of Competitive Bidding” form used to explain the rationale for not using competition, as well as providing the statutory basis for that action.

Vendors who have questions or wish to discuss contracting for any of the services listed below are to please contact the department's Contract Administrator specified on the accompanying document. If any Vendor or other interested party would like to comment on one of these intended, non-competitive procurements, please complete this Response Form (doc) and submit the completed form as an attachment to NOI-Response@maine.gov.

Thank you again for your interest in State of Maine purchasing and contracting.
