The North Dakota State Procurement Office is planning to award a sole-source contract to a highly experienced consultant specializing in the Department of Energy Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP). The selected consultant will provide essential services including compliance monitoring, quality assurance inspections, and program support to ensure that the state's WAP adheres to federal DOE requirements and guidelines. The contract, titled Weatherization Program Monitoring & Technical Assistance Services, is valued between $50,000 and $150,000 and is intended to support the state's efforts in maintaining program integrity and effectiveness. The procurement process emphasizes the need for a consultant with over five years of specialized experience in technical and programmatic monitoring of WAP, with a particular focus on DOE standards and certifications. The initial contract is planned for one year, with the possibility of four renewal options, each not exceeding $50,000 annually.
