This document appears to be a Request for Quotation (RFQ) issued by the State Purchasing Division of the State Department of Administration for the procurement of natural gas services. The contracting agency is seeking to establish fixed price contracts with qualified suppliers to provide natural gas services to various state agencies, universities, and other eligible entities across the state. The RFQ outlines the scope of work, including requirements for firm fixed pricing, volume estimates, delivery points, and contract term. Responses are due by August 24, 2020, and the contracts are expected to have an initial term of 2 years with up to 3 additional 1-year renewal options.

The RFQ specifies that pricing must be inclusive of all costs and that no fuel adjustment charges or other surcharges will be allowed. It also notes that the state's Minority and Women's Business Enterprise (MWBE) program applies, with a 20% MWBE participation goal. The current incumbent suppliers are listed, and the state anticipates spending approximately $25 million annually on natural gas services across all participating entities, subject to available appropriations and actual usage.
