Active Opportunity

The board received information on a proposed sole-source agreement with the Electric and Gas Industries Association to manage Metropolitan's consumer incentive program. The source does not show final award, so the decision appears to be still moving through the process. This is a useful lead for a vendor tied to incentive program administration, outreach, or program management.

Grant Funding

The article says Maureen Ogden helped push through the 1999 Bagger Bill, which appropriated $4.5 million for general operating support (GOS) grants for historical organizations. The New Jersey Historical Commission's grant program had previously run on about $200,000 a year, so this was a major funding shift. The opportunity is not an active procurement, but it is clear grant-program intelligence for history organizations and any vendors supporting application management, program administration, or grant services.
