Beginning October 1, 2026, all state agencies must include a standardized one-page summary on the first page of every request for proposal (RFP) to help vendors quickly assess scope and requirements

Required summary page elements include: plain language project description, eligible applicants, budget range and total funding, expected number and size of awards, funding source, matching requirements, administrative cost rates, payment model, and reporting requirements

Additional mandatory information includes pre-award requirements, estimated application time, technical and accessibility tools available, proposal deadlines, agency contact information, and evaluation criteria

The commissioner must develop a standardized summary page template for all state agencies, which agencies must use without substantive alteration except for agency-specific procurement needs

The summary page supplements but does not replace or supersede the specific requirements contained in the full RFP
