PROJECT OBJECTIVES The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey (“Port Authority” or “PA”) is interested in seeking information regarding procurement technologies and tools that will help the Procurement Department’s (Procurement) ability to increase efficiency, speed, customer-centricity, analysis and enhancement of supplier relationships. The Port Authority strives to maintain the highest levels of honesty, integrity, and public trust in all its endeavors. When the Port Authority procures goods, services (which include professional, technical and advisory consulting services) and construction related contracts, the Port Authority seeks the best value. In the purchase of goods and some services this usually means obtaining the highest quality at the lowest cost within the required timeframe. Whenever practicable for such goods and services, Port Authority requirements are met through a competitive publicly advertised procurement process, with an award made to the qualified responsive/responsible bidder with the lowest cost or to proposers based upon qualifications, experience, and proposed cost aligned with the project needs that offer the best value to the Port Authority. The Port Authority seeks innovative solutions to combine our procurement process with 21st century technology while continuing to maintain the highest levels of honesty, integrity and public trust. System security and user friendliness of proposed solution(s) is of paramount importance.
