Agencies are advised to contact scminfo@vita.virginia.gov to notify VITA of an upcoming high-risk procurement.
VITA issued a high risk solicitation and contract policy, effective July 1, 2019. This policy requires agencies who are planning to conduct an IT procurement under a delegation of authority to notify VITA's supply chain mangement (SCM) division immediately. SCM will provide advice and consulting services to these agencies to assist them in preparing the required performance metrics and enforcement provisions.
In 2019, the General Assembly added § 2.2-4303.01 "High-risk contracts; definition; review" to the Virginia Public Procurement Act.
