Natural gas supply and management services

The Wisconsin Natural Gas Supply and Management Services contract provides comprehensive natural gas procurement and management solutions for state facilities across Wisconsin. The vehicle covers secondary firm natural gas delivery for 43-46 state facilities, including University of Wisconsin campuses, correctional institutions, mental health facilities, and government buildings. Services encompass account management, 24/7 customer support, web-based reporting portals, daily and monthly gas nominations, imbalance management, and consolidated monthly invoicing. The contract supports natural gas supply in multiple forms, including compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG), with pricing structured around NYMEX last day settlement basis.

The contract was initially awarded by the Wisconsin Department of Administration's Division of Facilities Development with four prime contractors: CenterPoint Energy Services Inc., Constellation New Energy-Gas Division, Twin Eagle Resource Management LLC, and Integrys Energy Services. The initial contract period ran from January 1, 2014, through December 31, 2014, with options for two additional one-year renewals. The vehicle is mandatory for state agencies and includes cooperative purchasing provisions that allow Wisconsin municipalities to utilize the contract. Pricing is fixed for each one-year term, based on NYMEX last day settlement with secondary firm capacity, and the state retains flexibility to add or delete delivery locations during the contract term.
