What is it?
NDIT provides review, consultation, and general assistance to North Dakota state agencies regarding IT procurement and contracting best practices. NDIT is responsible for reviewing and approving the acquisition of technology by state agencies, as defined in ND Century Code (Chapter 54-59-05). NDIT collaborates with OMB State Procurement, OMB Risk Management and the Office of Attorney General to develop RFP and contract templates and best practices related to technology procurements.
