This is a procurement by the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) for weather forecasting services (Bid # 18DPP00263 T1122). The intent is to award a 2-year master blanket purchase order, with possible extensions, for routine weather forecasts, impending hazardous weather/storm-event forecasts, winter weather event updates, pavement sensor forecasting, and other weather-related services as required. The successful vendor must provide customized weather data and forecasts to NJDOT's Central Regional Emergency Operations Center, including updated forecasts for specific sub-regions as requested. Vendors must submit quotes electronically or via hard copy by September 18, 2018 at 2:00 PM Eastern Time. Pricing will be firm fixed-price, and the state may award any or all price lines, though no guarantee of work volume is provided.

There are no small business set-aside or subcontracting requirements for this procurement. The incumbent vendor information is not provided, but the New Jersey Turnpike Authority has decided to self-procure weather forecasting services separately. The total estimated 3-year contract value will be used to rank the quotes, though the specific award value range is not indicated. The contract will be open to cooperative purchasing program participants after award.
