6.2. Step 1 – State Publishes Results of Evaluation Process

---

State entities must publish notice of the results of the solicitation process, including any intended or actual contract awards. The published notice will identify:

• The name(s) of the successful supplier(s),
• The amount of any contract award,
• The names of the unsuccessful suppliers, and
• The reasons why those suppliers were unsuccessful.

For contracts that do not have a guaranteed award amount (such as open state entity contracts), the issuing officer should use the estimated purchase amount for purposes of identifying the contract award amount. The following subsections address the publication of results based on solicitation type.
