IE&E Purchasing and Vendors
The IE&E Modernization Program operates as a joint effort, where both state staff and external vendors/contractors collaborate to tackle crucial tasks. Through effective communication and a shared commitment to success, this collaboration ensures a seamless integration of diverse perspectives and capabilities. The goal of this approach is the timely and successful completion of key project work.
Statewide Contracts: IE&E uses the statewide contracts through the Department of Enterprise Services to obtain services across a variety of needs. Vendors interested in participating in future statewide contracting opportunities can visit the Department of Enterprise Services resource page for more information.
