Invitation to Qualify (ITQ) is the name given to certain multiple award contracts issued by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania pursuant to Section 517 of the Procurement Code. ITQ contracts may be solicited by an invitation for bids or a request for proposals.

All ITQs contracts except the Penn Dot Rented Equipment ITQ (3516T01) have been moved to a new system named Jaggaer. 

Suppliers must first be registered as a supplier in the PA Supplier portal website.
