**Planning or procuring IV&V services for a major technology initiative?**

Download a practical IV&V checklist and customizable RFP template

A well-structured Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) engagement can give agency leaders an objective view of project health, emerging risks, vendor performance, delivery readiness, and the likelihood of achieving intended outcomes. But realizing that value starts well before the work begins.

This toolkit helps state agencies plan and procure IV&V services for complex technology initiatives. Use the checklist to clarify what your agency needs from the engagement, then adapt the sample RFP language within your established procurement documents.

The toolkit includes: 

• An IV&V planning, procurement, and oversight checklist covering engagement scope, independence, contracting, proposal evaluation, reporting, governance, and the effective use of IV&V findings.

• A customizable RFP template with sample language for project objectives, provider qualifications, methodology, deliverables, pricing, and evaluation criteria.
