About this opportunity
The state of New York is soliciting proposals for Affordable Solar and Storage Predevelopment and Technical Assistance under Procurement Opportunity Number (PON) 3414, which targets comprehensive solar and storage project development across all New York State counties. This procurement focuses on supporting community solar initiatives, with specific emphasis on projects that can qualify for the Inclusive Community Solar Adder. The revised solicitation extends the acceptance period through December 31, 2029, and increases Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) funding to $1,600,000. The contract term is set for 24 months, allowing significant time for project implementation and technical assistance. Potential respondents should be prepared to meet enhanced program requirements, particularly for owners and managers of community solar projects seeking additional funding support. While specific technical evaluation criteria are not detailed in the document, contractors will likely be assessed on their ability to advance solar and storage infrastructure development, community engagement, and greenhouse gas reduction objectives.
No service-disabled veteran-owned business set-aside is indicated for this procurement, and the solicitation does not explicitly restrict participation to specific business types or disadvantaged enterprises. The procurement appears open to qualified entities capable of delivering solar and storage predevelopment and technical assistance services. The document notes no incumbent vendors have been awarded identical or substantially similar contracts in the past five years. While a precise award value is not specified, the $1,600,000 in RGGI funds suggests a significant budget allocation for selected projects. Interested vendors should carefully review the full PON 3414 documentation to understand the comprehensive requirements for community solar project development, technical assistance protocols, and the specific mechanisms for receiving the Inclusive Community Solar Adder. Proposals must be submitted by December 31, 2029, at 3:00 PM, providing ample time for potential respondents to develop comprehensive proposals.
