From the meeting
At its September 10, 2026 meeting, Queens Public Library approved a Sustainability Policy tied to its strategic plan and Sustainable Libraries Certification Program effort. The policy says the Library will review purchasing, capital projects, and solicitations for environmental impact, including asking vendors about environmental practices where feasible. It also says the Library hopes to submit its certification application in the next 12 to 18 months, which creates a near-term policy and procurement positioning trigger.

A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
