About this opportunity
The Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources (DOER) is requesting quotes for technical consulting services to evaluate energy storage proposals under Section 83E of Massachusetts law, with quotes due June 26, 2026 by 4:00 p.m. This procurement is targeted to small businesses participating in Massachusetts's Small Business Purchasing Program (SBPP), though non-SBPP qualified vendors may be considered if SBPP capacity is inadequate.
The scope requires quantitative and qualitative analysis of energy storage bids for the Second and Third 83E Procurements, which aim to procure 5,000 megawatts of energy storage systems by July 31, 2030. Key deliverables include consulting on proposal reviews, attending extensive meetings with DOER and Electric Distribution Companies (EDCs), providing recommendations for winning bids, and potentially assisting in regulatory proceedings before the Department of Public Utilities (DPU). The contractor must demonstrate knowledge of ISO New England energy and capacity markets, energy storage procurement frameworks, Massachusetts distribution systems, complex energy market modeling, DPU and FERC regulatory proceedings, and regional environmental regulations. Experience with similar projects over 15 or more years is highly advantageous.
The contract value is a maximum obligation of four hundred thousand dollars through June 30, 2028, awarded as a rate-based agreement under Statewide Contract PRF74 Energy Climate Action and Facility Advisory Services. The project timeline spans Round 2 bid evaluation from Fall 2026 through Spring 2027, with Round 3 RFP drafting beginning in Spring 2027. Evaluation emphasizes team qualifications, relevant experience, approach clarity, and reasonable pricing inclusive of all ancillary costs. Anticipated selection occurs July 6, 2026, with contract execution by July 17, 2026. The selected contractor is subject to a three-year post-contract employment restriction prohibiting work on any Section 83E-related bids or projects and must comply with Commonwealth security, confidentiality, and audit requirements.
