T3128 eProcurement System and Services for DPMC

The New Jersey Department of the Treasury's Division of Purchase and Property (DPP) is seeking proposals for a vendor-hosted, web-based electronic construction procurement (eProcurement) solution and related services on behalf of the Department of Property Management and Construction (DPMC). The eProcurement system must allow for the electronic advertisement and distribution of construction bid opportunities, provide a digital lockbox for encrypted bid submissions, enable electronic bid validation and withdrawal, and support various procurement methods like Design-Build and Lowest Responsible Bidder. The selected vendor must also provide implementation, training, and ongoing support services for both DPMC users and construction bidders. The procurement covers the state of New Jersey, as well as the local jurisdictions of Mercer County and the City of Trenton. Quotes are due by April 26, 2022 at 2:00 pm Eastern Time, and vendors must submit their proposals electronically through the NJSTART eProcurement site. The state expects over 1,500 contractors will utilize the system, with 6-10 internal DPMC users.

The procurement is open to all qualified vendors, but the state reserves the right to set aside portions for small businesses or disabled veteran-owned businesses. No incumbent vendor information or award value details are provided, but the state averages 74 construction awards per year totaling $98,644,815. Vendors will be required to complete a security questionnaire and confidentiality/commitment to defend agreement as part of the proposal submission process. The contract term and any renewal options are not specified in the available documentation.
