Answer:
I was reviewing the requirements for the Hulse House Complex Upgrades bid and noticed that there is a WBE requirement listed.
I just wanted to clarify whether this requirement is specifically for a New York State-certified WBE, or if a company certified at the Nassau County and/or Suffolk County level would also satisfy the requirement.
The requirement would be satisfied by a New York State certified WBE. Please see appendix b of the general conditions for the full requirements.

Notice to Bidders / June 2026 6 from disclosure, including those that contain (1) trade secrets, (2) information that, if disclosed, would cause substantial injury to the competitive position of your organization, or (3) critical infrastructure information. Records may be redacted to protect only the portions of documents that fall within a FOIL exemption. An entire document may not be withheld if only a portion of the document is exempt from disclosure. Blanket assertions that information is a trade secret, confidential, or proprietary are insufficient to justify withholding information under FOIL.

However, such submissions seeking non-disclosure will not be considered unless it is accompanied with an explanation justifying the privilege. The State’s determination may be appealed pursuant to POL §89(5)(c). Pursuant to POL §87(2)(b), the State, without having to request it, will redact information that “if disclosed would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.”
Timely Submission The Bidders are solely responsible for timely delivery of their bid to the location set forth by the stated bid due date/time and are solely responsible for delays in receipt, including but not limited to those due to third-party carriers.
Bidder Proposal Clarification Prior to award, OPRHP reserves the right to seek clarifications, request proposal revisions, or to request any information deemed necessary for proper evaluation of proposals from all Bidders deemed to be eligible for Contract award. Failure of a bidder to cooperate with OPRHP’s effort to clarify a proposal may result in the proposal being labeled as non-responsive and be given no further consideration.
Additionally, OPRHP reserves the right to use information submitted by the Bidder in response to OPRHP’s request for clarifying information in the course of evaluation and selection under this IFB.
Bid Review and Contract Approval The Contract resulting from this IFB will not be effective until approved by the Office of the Attorney General and the Office of the State Comptroller.
