Requests for Proposals (RFP)

Act 5 of 2025 raised the threshold for requiring competition for Consulting  Services contracts from $75,000 to $150,000, over a 12-month period.  State agencies can contract for consulting services in an amount up to $449,997 in a 36-month period, provided not more than $149,999 is expended in each 12-month period.  Contracts which exceed this amount will require a Request for Proposal (RFP) as provided by law.  See Louisiana R.S. 39:1621, as amended by Act 5.

Social Services contracts greater than $249,999.99 in a 12 month period (maximum $749,997 in 36 months) must be let by a Request for Proposals process as outlined in the OSP laws and regulations, unless specifically exempt in accordance with Louisiana R.S. 39:1619.
