How much do vendors charge for their services?

This question came from a Procurement Manager in New Mexico.

Many software vendors will not provide pricing when you are starting to look at their solution. There are other options to get ballpark pricing, when this is the case.

1. GSA Schedules
2. State and Local Government awards
3. RFP responses that are public
4. Peers

The State of New Mexico awards State Price agreements every four years for all major tech categories.
