Chapter 1 - VITA's Purpose and Scope

1.8.0 CIO approval required for certain IT procurements via the Procurement Governance Review (PGR) process

In accordance with the Code of Virginia, the Commonwealth CIO reviews and approves proposed IT investments (IT projects and IT procurements) with a value of $250,000.00 and over, requests for proposals (RFPs), Invitations for bid (IFBs) and contracts for IT projects. Agency IT project procurements are reviewed and approved for those projects and procurements that are $1 million dollars or more in cost. Additionally, the CIO, via the Division of Project Management, requires that any contract requiring CIO approval over $1 million dollars shall be approved by the Office of the Attorney General prior to submission to VITA PMD for the CIO's review and approval.
