What is an Invitation for Bid (IFB)?
A. The IFB process is used to obtain routine services that may request personal or mechanical skills. The IFB is very specific about the requested qualifications of the contractor, performance, time frames and requirements that must be met. If a contractor feels that they meet the requirements and can provide the services for the State, they will submit a “bid” reflecting the cost for their services. If the bid is the apparent winning bid, upon Board approval, the contractor will be awarded the contract.
