Energy Efficiency Program Management System (EEPMS)

The Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) to procure a state-of-the-art, commercially available application to provide comprehensive program and case management for its energy efficiency weatherization programs. The proposed Energy Efficiency Program Management System (EEPMS) must include administrative controls for the distinct programs and their funding sources, as well as support for DHCD's network of partner organizations and subcontractors. The RFP outlines detailed functional requirements across 15 different categories, including general program management, intake and eligibility, energy modeling, financial tracking, document management, user interface, and data security. Proposals are due by February 10, 2022, and the resulting contract will have an initial term with options to renew.

The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations, such as Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) or Veteran-Owned Small Business Enterprise (VSBE) goals. However, it does note that the current contract holder is Hancock Software, Inc. of Framingham, MA, with a contract term of April 1, 2021, to March 31, 2024, and a contract amount of $896,621.00. The RFP does not provide any specific pricing terms, set-asides, or funding information, but DHCD currently utilizes a web-based program management system and is seeking a robust and flexible solution to meet the evolving needs of its multiple energy efficiency programs and funding sources.
