Architectural Retainers

Stony Brook University is seeking qualified architectural firms to establish a three-year retainer contract, primarily for services at the university's campus in Stony Brook, New York, with potential work across all counties within the state. The solicitation, identified as SUNY at Stony Brook 25/26-011MC, emphasizes a focus on professional architectural services and encourages firms to register via the Jaggaer eProcurement platform to access bid documents and submit proposals. The contract aims to support ongoing and future architectural projects, with a contract value estimated between $500,000 and $5,000,000. The procurement process includes specific diversity and subcontracting goals, notably a 16% minority-owned business subcontracting target, a 14% women-owned business goal, and a 6% service-disabled veteran-owned business goal, although the contract itself is not set aside exclusively for service-disabled veteran-owned firms. The solicitation highlights the importance of supplier registration and provides detailed guidance on accessing bid opportunities through the SUNY Supplier Portal, including instructions for creating accounts and navigating the Jaggaer system. It also references the availability of the New York State M/WBE Certified Directory, which lists certified minority and women-owned businesses, supporting efforts to meet subcontracting goals and promote diversity in contracting. The contract is open to firms with relevant experience, including those that have previously held similar contracts with entities such as Key Civil, Hayduk, or Greenman Pedersen within the past five years. The primary point of contact for the solicitation is Marie Titone, Contract Officer, and the response deadline for proposals is July 25, 2025. The contract aims to facilitate architectural services across all New York State counties, supporting the university’s infrastructure and development needs over the specified term.
