EVALUATION PROCESS:
Evaluation of proposals is made through a fair and equitable comparison of all proposals submitted in accordance the specifics of the Requests for Quotation (RFQ) as established in Our Guidelines for Procurement Contracts. We do not maintain prequalified bidders lists, and bidders are expected to demonstrate their proven experience within their proposals. We encourage Minority and Women owned (MWBE) and Service Disabled Veteran Owned Businesses (SDVOB) firms to participate in our Supplier Diversity Program. We also encourage such firms to participate in these bidding opportunities.
NYPA has implemented a comprehensive sourcing, contract management and supplier management system through the SAP Ariba platform which will enable electronic bidding. The transition to electronic bidding allows the Authority to manage the bidding process, contracts and relationships with its suppliers more efficiently. The Authority will continue to provide a list of bidding opportunities available to prospective bidders on this website. Instructions for submitting proposals will be clearly marked and provided to ensure successful submission to NYPA.
The Authority’s Procurement Officer is John Canale, Vice President of Strategic Supply Management.
