Statewide commissioning services

The State of Delaware Department of OMB/Division of Facilities Management is soliciting proposals for statewide commissioning services through a competitive procurement process. The services encompass a comprehensive range of commissioning activities for state buildings, including design phase reviews, systems verification, Building Automation Systems (BAS) master planning, HVAC controls design and standardization, trend analysis using BAS data, and re-commissioning services focused on energy efficiency improvements. While HVAC systems and controls represent the primary focus, the scope may extend to electrical and other selected building systems. Qualified vendors must demonstrate significant experience and reputation in commissioning services, possess expertise in public works requirements, maintain adequate capacity to serve multiple state facilities, and provide three business references. The evaluation will consider firm location relative to project sites (with Dover serving as the reference point), experience and reputation, technical expertise, capacity, demonstrated ability, and overall quality and cost-effectiveness. The procurement timeline includes a vendor question deadline of May 22, 2026, with responses posted by May 29, 2026, and a proposal submission deadline of June 5, 2026, at 4:00 PM local time, with award notification estimated for June 26, 2026.

The solicitation does not establish any specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though awarded vendors must provide quarterly subcontractor diversity reporting as a contractual requirement. Vendors must maintain minimum insurance coverage including Commercial General Liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 aggregate, along with Medical/Professional Liability, Errors and Omissions, or Product Liability insurance at equivalent limits. All work must be performed within the United States, prohibiting the use of offshore facilities or foreign offices. The contract term is structured as one year with three optional one-year extensions, plus potential month-to-month extensions up to three months following the initial contract period. The State reserves the right to award to multiple vendors and negotiate with qualified firms based on preference ranking. No specific budget range or award value was disclosed in the solicitation; pricing will not be solicited for comparison under Delaware Code 29 Del. C. 6982(a), and vendors may be required to execute a truth-in-negotiation certificate.
