How to bid on Energy Support Services Master Agreements for LA County ISD
What LA County is buying and why it matters
The Los Angeles County Internal Services Department (ISD) is looking for qualified companies to provide energy and environmental sustainability support services. These services will be provided on an as-needed basis through Energy Support Services Master Agreements (ESSMA).
This opportunity is important for vendors because it establishes a master agreement, which allows the County to quickly and efficiently procure services as various energy issues arise. The current ESSMA expires in August 2022, so new agreements are being sought to ensure continuous provision of these critical services.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This is a continuous solicitation, meaning the County accepts responses on a rolling basis. There is no fixed deadline for submission. This allows vendors to submit their qualifications at any time.
The solicitation was published on April 26, 2022. While there is no specific closing date, it is beneficial to submit your Statement of Qualifications when you are ready, as the County will be reviewing submissions as they come in.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for companies with expertise in energy and environmental sustainability support services. Both current and prospective vendors for ESSMA are encouraged to respond.
Firms in the environmental category, particularly those specializing in energy efficiency, renewable energy, sustainability consulting, or related technical support, will find this solicitation relevant. The County is seeking qualified companies to maintain a pool of vendors for future projects.
