How to bid on Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) for Agency of Transportation
What the agency is buying
The Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) is seeking companies to design, build, own, operate, and maintain electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. This Request for Qualifications (RFQ) aims to create a list of eligible firms for future projects related to EV charging infrastructure.
These projects will support the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act National Electric Vehicle Supply Infrastructure Program. Work may include locations along Vermont’s designated Alternative Fuel Corridors and within community areas.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This RFQ was published on June 30, 2026. Your Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) must be submitted by August 13, 2026, at 11:00 AM ET. This is a strict deadline.
After the deadline, VTrans will evaluate the submitted SOQs to establish a shortlist of qualified firms. Only firms on this shortlist will be eligible to submit proposals for future Requests for Proposals (RFPs) for EVSE-related projects. Inclusion on the shortlist does not guarantee a work award.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for firms with expertise in electrical equipment and supplies, electrical contracting, non-building construction, and transportation services. Companies capable of handling the full lifecycle of EV charging infrastructure—design, construction, ownership, operation, and maintenance—are encouraged to respond.
This is a qualification process, so it is ideal for businesses looking to establish a long-term relationship with VTrans for EV infrastructure development in Vermont.
