New statewide contract

*New NASPO cooperative contract available for electric vehicle charging station equipment*

DES has a new cooperative contract for electric vehicle charging station equipment only. This contract succeeds contract 04016 [ [link removed] ] electric vehicle supply equipment, which expired Sept. 9.

Installation and any turnkey solutions or options are out of scope for this contract. We have signed one participating addendum (PA) with National Car Charging and are working to sign additional PAs.

Other contract news

*Statewide contracts remain in place during spending freeze*

Gov. Inslee issued a directive [ [link removed] ] on Dec. 2 for a statewide freeze on most nonessential service contracts, purchasing, hiring, and travel due to a projected budget shortfall. Statewide contracts will remain available for agencies to use for their essential and mission-critical goods and services.

Exemptions to the Governor’s directive include:


* Essential purchases necessary to support public safety, health and welfare activities, and other critical government functions.
* Service contracts and purchases less than $10,000, as well as travel required to protect life or ensure public safety.

Statewide contracts leverage the state’s collective buying power to help agencies, federal and local governments, higher education, Tribal governments, and certain nonprofits save money, reduce risk, and streamline purchasing to focus on their core missions.

DES remains committed to providing resources and guidance to state agencies navigating these restrictions while ensuring continued access to necessary statewide contracts.
