About this opportunity
SUNY Schenectady is requesting proposals for fixed-price electricity supply services under RFP 2026-06, with proposals due July 23, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. ET and a pre-proposal conference via Microsoft Teams on June 30, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. ET.
The scope covers electricity supply for either a three-year term (January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2029) or a five-year term (January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2031). The College's annual electricity usage is approximately 5.5 million kWh distributed across ten meters within NYISO Zone F (National Grid/NIMO territory). All pricing must be firm, fixed, and all-inclusive on a $/kWh basis with no pass-through charges, surcharges, or additional fees permitted after contract execution. Broker compensation, if applicable, must be embedded in the quoted rate with no separate broker fees allowed. Market price adjustments at award are limited to the lesser of documented market changes over four weeks or 5% of the proposed $/kWh.
Bidders must demonstrate financial stability, New York State regulatory licensing eligibility, experience serving higher education or public sector entities, and the ability to manage fixed-price contracts subject to market volatility. Three years of financial statements and references from at least three similar institutional clients are required.
Cost proposals are evaluated on lowest total cost (maximum 50 points), with technical proposals weighted on experience (20 points), qualifications (15 points), and financial stability (15 points). The incumbent contractor is Constellation New Energy, which was awarded a contract within the past five years.
Written questions are due July 7, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. ET; responses will be posted as addenda by July 14, 2026. Proposals must include three bound hard copies of technical submissions plus two electronic copies, and two hard copies with original signatures for cost proposals. The Board of Trustees will present finalist recommendations on August 17, 2026, with contract award anticipated August 18, 2026.
