About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The State of New York is procuring services and funding through the Clean Green Schools Initiative (PON 4924) to support public schools in implementing infrastructure improvements that decarbonize building portfolios and enhance extreme heat resilience. The initiative targets P-12 schools that have traditionally lacked resources for infrastructure investments, with eligible project categories including comprehensive retrofits that reduce energy consumption and overall building load, electrification readiness projects, and conversion of central heating and/or cooling plants to clean energy technologies such as heat pumps. Participating schools may also receive funding for clean energy educational opportunities benefiting students, faculty, staff, and surrounding communities. The procurement was posted on April 28, 2026, with a proposal submission deadline of August 18, 2026. Prospective applicants must complete required documentation including the Climate Hazard Screening Form, School Authorization Form, a formal proposal using the provided Proposal Template, and supporting materials such as the Building Impacts Table and Milestone Payment Schedule. The proposal evaluation criteria and additional programmatic requirements have been updated in the revised solicitation document, with various sections restructured for clarity and applicant guidance.

The solicitation document references set-aside designations and school eligibility criteria, though specific details regarding disadvantaged enterprise requirements or restrictions on respondent types are not fully outlined in the provided summary. No incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing technology integration requirements are identified in the available information. Award values and budget ranges for individual school projects or the overall program have not been specified in the summary documentation provided. Organizations and schools interested in this opportunity should review the complete solicitation, including all attachments and updated sections, to understand specific eligibility requirements, funding limitations, and application procedures. The revised program documents suggest significant clarifications have been made to streamline the application process and improve programmatic transparency for potential applicants.
