2026-2027 Meltwater Services

The New York Power Authority (NYPA) has issued a notification regarding a single-source contract award for Media Monitoring & Intelligence Subscription services to be provided by Meltwater News US, Inc. This procurement, designated for the 2026-2027 fiscal year, is limited to a one-year service period and covers Westchester County and Yonkers City jurisdictions in New York. The services procured include media monitoring and intelligence subscription capabilities, though specific deliverables, performance metrics, and detailed service requirements are not outlined in this notification document. The posting date was May 8, 2026, with a response deadline of June 1, 2026. This advertisement serves primarily as a notification mechanism rather than an open competitive bid solicitation, as indicated by the explicit statement that no formal bid document is available. Organizations interested in providing these services in future contract cycles are encouraged to contact the designated buyer, Thelma Burch, Sr. Strategic Buyer, at 914-681-6634 or Thelma.Burch@NYPA.Gov.

As this is a single-source contract award notification rather than a competitive procurement, there are no set-aside designations, minority or disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or competitive evaluation criteria applicable to this particular opportunity. The incumbent contractor is Meltwater News US, Inc., which has been awarded the contract on a sole-source basis. No information regarding budget allocation, contract value, or pricing is provided in the notification. The posting explicitly states that this is notification-only documentation with no bid document available, indicating that the competitive opportunity phase has concluded and the contract has already been awarded. Future vendors interested in competing for similar services when the contract comes up for renewal or when NYPA determines to open competition should establish contact with the buyer for information regarding qualification requirements and service standards.
