Under the contract, Carahsoft Technology Corp. will serve as the prime contractor, with Maryville Consulting Group as subcontractor providing the professional services. Work will be completed in five phases (Initiation/Discovery, IT Planning, Cost Transparency, Billing, and Closeout), followed by post-implementation support under the Technology Business Management Analyst as a Service (TBMAaaS) model.

This procurement vehicle allows the County to leverage competitively bid state cooperative contracts while ensuring compliance with public contracting requirements.
