Sustainability Certification Support – LEED / Energy Star

The contract seeks to support property owners in obtaining or documenting LEED or Energy Star certification for leased facilities to enhance competitiveness in future solicitation processes. The goal is to ensure that certified properties meet recognized sustainability standards, thereby securing preferential consideration during procurement evaluations. Subcontractors will provide the necessary expertise to guide, assess, and document compliance with either LEED or Energy Star criteria, ensuring all requirements are met efficiently and accurately. This initiative is managed by the California Department of General Services under NAICS code 541620, which classifies the work as architectural and engineering services related to environmental consulting. The solicitation was posted on July 23, 2026, with a response deadline of August 8, 2026, indicating a narrow window for qualified providers to submit proposals. The work is structured as a subcontract and does not specify a set-aside category, meaning it is open to all eligible parties. Performance will occur at leased facilities across California, though exact locations are not detailed. Participation requires a clear understanding of sustainability certification processes and the ability to deliver documented outcomes that align with federal and state green building benchmarks.
