Description
The State of Washington is gathering market input to shape a future statewide contract for software that will manage electric‑vehicle charging stations (EVSE). The solicitation seeks vendors’ capabilities in delivering an interoperable, multi‑brand software platform that supports the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP), provides robust data export, handles diverse payment methods, and meets Washington’s security and WaTech standards. Responses will inform the development of specifications for a unified statewide charging‑network solution.
• Required functionality includes OCPP 1.6/2.0 support, multi‑vendor charger management, and remote monitoring/dashboard capabilities.
• Vendors must describe network connectivity options (Wi‑Fi, LTE/4G, wired), SLA expectations, data‑export mechanisms (CSV, APIs), pricing models, payment‑processing security, and certifications (ISO 27001, SOC 2, WaTech).
• Only organizations that have signed the Contracts Usage Agreement (CUA) may respond; the RFI deadline is extended to May 21 2026, and all submissions become public records.
