STA26- PSCPJM RFP Question and Answer
Q1: Upon further review, it states that the “proposal will not be open to the public but a list will be kept of vendors who submit proposals”. Does this mean that the RFP was posted but will awarded internally or to a pre-designated vendor?
A1: The deadline for receipt of proposals is September 29, 2026. Proposals will be evaluated based on the criteria in the RFP. This is an open RFP process that is not limited internally or to any pre-designated vendor.
Q2: Can you please let me know if any prospective vendors have submitted questions and where the corresponding responses can be found?
A2: We’ve only received one question (after the deadline for questions) which I have not had a chance to upload to the website yet:
September 17, 2026: “Upon further review, it states that the “proposal will not be open to the public but a list will be kept of vendors who submit proposals”. Does this mean that the RFP was posted but will awarded internally or to a pre-designated vendor? “
Answer: The deadline for receipt of proposals is September 29, 2026. Proposals will be evaluated based on the criteria in the RFP. This is an open RFP process that is not limited internally or to any pre-designated vendor.
Q3: Can you clarify the proposal submission requirements for the STA26-PSCPJM RFP? Is a physical submission required by September 29 at 1pm, or are electronic submissions via the PSCRFP@delaware.gov address (per the RFP, bottom of page 39) sufficient? Or are both required?
A3: Both are required.
Q4: The RFP’s main submission section requires five paper copies and one electronic copy on a CD, DVD, or USB drive, including a separate electronic pricing file, to be delivered to Matthew Hartigan at the Delaware Public Service Commission, 861 Silver Lake Boulevard.
However, another section indicates that proposals may be submitted by email.
Could you please confirm which submission method XXXXXXXXX should follow? If both methods are required, please confirm whether we should submit the proposal in hard copy and electronically by email.
A4: The paper copies can be submitted via USPS or similar service; the electronic copy can be submitted via email.
mailto:PSCRFP@delaware.gov
Q5: Did the State receive questions and if so, when will they be posted? One of the questions I'm looking to answer, and I don't know if you could provide a response at this time: The RFP states that, "Each proposal must be submitted with __5___ paper copies" if we submit electronically, are paper copies necessary?
A5: All questions were received after the stated deadline. This is a complete list of questions as of September 24, 2026. The paper copies can be submitted via USPS or similar service.
