ELECTRIC VEHICLE SUPPLY EQUIPMENT
Research begins for next contract
Contract 04016 for electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) is expiring in September 2024 and Enterprise Services is hoping to hear from customers as part of its research into a successor contract.
EVSE systems include electrical conductors and related equipment, software, and communications protocols that deliver energy efficiently and safely to electric vehicles.
DES wants to learn about customer experiences with purchasing off this contract and hear any input or suggestions for the next one. There is no scheduled timeline for the launch of the solicitation process, but it will likely be in May.
