The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has issued Request for Proposals (RFP #6000002544) for Expert Professional Application Support Services to be delivered on a task order basis over a four-year term. The solicitation seeks qualified firms to provide comprehensive technical support services for the Engineering Solutions Unit, specifically targeting application management, maintenance, development, and support across multiple technology platforms. Required expertise includes web application development, geographic information systems, SharePoint administration, Microsoft Power Platform, content management systems, construction management applications, and technical user administration. Proposers must demonstrate significant experience with technologies such as Microsoft web applications, Esri GIS systems, SharePoint, Power Apps, OpenText workflows, and Autodesk suite administration. A virtual pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for November 22, 2024, at 11:30 AM Eastern Time, with proposal submissions due by 2:00 PM Eastern Time on December 13, 2024. Potential bidders must register and create a free Bonfire account to download the solicitation and submit electronic proposals, with emailed, hand-delivered, and mailed submissions not being accepted.

The Port Authority has established specific participation goals for diverse business enterprises, including 20% Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs), 10% Women-owned Business Enterprises (WBEs), and 3% Service-disabled Veteran-owned Businesses (SDVOBs). Prime proposers have multiple pathways to meet these goals, such as a certified MBE firm being able to self-perform the 20% MBE goal, and firms certified as both MBE and WBE potentially satisfying both the 20% MBE and 10% WBE goals. The contract will utilize a task order distribution process designed to provide fair equity and competition, with compensation based on multipliers, actual salaries, and potential lump-sum task orders. Proposers must provide detailed information about staff qualifications, experience levels, and technical expertise. Insurance requirements are comprehensive, including Commercial General Liability ($2 million), Automobile Liability ($2 million), Workers' Compensation, Cyber Liability, and Technology Professional Liability insurance. While specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the four-year term and task order-based structure suggest a potentially significant procurement opportunity for qualified technology service providers.
