6.2.2.2. Notice of Award

The Notice of Award (NOA) is the state entity’s official announcement of actual contract award to the identified supplier(s). The NOAClosed also identifies the amount of the actual contract award, the names of all suppliers whose responses were rejected, and the reasons for the rejection of the unsuccessful suppliers. The NOAClosed must be publicly posted within one day of contract award (i.e., issuing a purchase order to the supplier and/or executing a contract). The NOAClosed is mandatory for announcing any and all awards resulting from solicitations regardless of the dollar amount.

For all contracts with an estimated value of $100,000.00 or more, the NOAClosed may not be issued prior to the expiration of the protest filing period and the resolution of any protests received except as permitted by Section 6.5.5. - Stay of Procurement During Protest Review.

The NOAClosed must be completed and posted as indicated in Table 6.5:
