The purpose of this Solicitation and resultant Contracts is to provide Authorized Users with a means of acquiring Photovoltaic Systems (Lot 1), Photovoltaic Services (Lot 2), Solar VDER Subscriptions (Lot 3), and Solar Power Purchase Agreements (Lot 4). A Bidder is not required to bid on every Lot; a Bidder may bid on as few or as many Lots as desired. For each Lot, it is OGS’s intent to award Contracts to all Responsive and Responsible Bidders meeting the minimum requirements established in the Solicitation for that Lot, whose Products meet the Scope and Specifications of this Solicitation, whose prices indicate that those Products will be provided at a reasonable price as determined by OGS, and who are eligible for award under that Lot.
