T3104 - Solar Power Purchase Agreements (PPA)

The State of New Jersey Department of the Treasury, Division of Purchase and Property, is seeking to establish a pool of up to 40 pre-qualified vendors to design, install, maintain, and decommission vendor-owned solar photovoltaic (PV) systems at various government-owned sites across the state. The awarded vendors will be eligible to bid on a series of 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA) projects during the 3-year term of the solicitation. Vendors may propose PV systems with all U.S., some U.S., or all non-U.S. materials, and the only payment to vendors will be the monthly bill for the electrical energy generated. The solicitation specifies pricing, set-aside, and other requirements. Vendors must submit quotes by May 23, 2019 and may be required to provide oral presentations. Awarded vendors will be required to comply with various state terms and conditions, including security, confidentiality, and accessibility requirements.

The procurement is not set aside for any specific business classification, but the State will award up to 40 master blanket purchase orders. Vendors must be registered with the N.J. Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services, Small Business Registration and M/WBE Certification Services Unit, if bidding on a set-aside contract. The State has not listed any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and the solicitation does not provide information on the total budget or estimated award values for the PPA projects.
