SECOG procurement opportunities (RFP/RFQ) for vendor partners
Southeastern Connecticut Council of Governments (SECOG) publishes its current RFP/RFQ solicitations on its procurement source page. For qualified consulting and professional service firms, SECOG can be a meaningful regional buyer because it commissions studies and services that support transportation planning, active transportation and shoreline planning, and environmental brownfield assessment and planning across Southeastern Connecticut.
Why SECOG is a buyer you should monitor
SECOG is a regional council of governments representing 22 towns, cities, and boroughs in Southeastern Connecticut. Its procurement activity is closely tied to planning and program administration work—especially in transportation and planning studies—where a consultant’s work can inform next-step decisions by boards and local stakeholders. SECOG’s published solicitations also show that it commissions brownfield assessment and planning services, including work connected to EPA Brownfields Assessment Coalition grant funding. If your firm sells planning, engineering, transit/planning, or environmental professional services, SECOG’s RFP/RFQ page provides a focused view of where regional planning deliverables are being procured.
Opportunity signals on SECOG’s procurement source page
SECOG’s procurement source page includes multiple active solicitation postings and describes the scope at a summary level. The page indicates opportunities for: (1) transit planning and consulting in support of analysis of local transit service and microtransit (including revenue and cost estimation to enable fare or service changes), (2) on-call transportation engineering or transportation planning/engineering services to assist with administration of SECOG’s transportation program and Planning (PL)-funded tasks, (3) planning-level design and preliminary engineering/estimation for shoreline/path facilities, and (4) brownfield assessment and planning services, with separate RFPs tied to geographic boundaries (including specific towns and a broader SECOG region boundary). Vendors should verify the current list of solicitations and the specific service categories for each posting directly on the source page, since the mix can change as new procurements are issued.

Vendor readiness steps before you respond
Before submitting, plan to prepare a complete proposal package aligned to each posting’s instructions. SECOG’s source page shows that at least some submissions require both a printed copy and a digital copy, and that proposals must be sent to a named individual at a specific mailing address and via the specified submission email shown on the posting. The page also indicates that SECOG may require specific qualifications depending on the solicitation (for example, brownfield assessment solicitations include requirements tied to Qualified Environmental Professional (QEP) firms). Build a vendor response package that can be adapted per posting (scope-specific narrative, firm/team qualifications, and required submission format) and confirm who the recipient is for that specific solicitation.
Capture-and-compliance approach to avoid missed requirements
Treat SECOG procurements as deadline-driven and submission-format sensitive. Each posting on the source page includes submission deadlines and separate deadlines for vendor questions; some postings also include supplemental documents (such as the RFP/RFQ document itself and Q&A materials). To reduce risk of a noncompliant submission, confirm: (1) the correct submission due time and date stated on that posting, (2) the correct questions deadline if you intend to seek clarifications, (3) whether the submission requires both printed and digital copies, and (4) that you include all supplemental documents referenced for that solicitation. Also monitor the same source page for any Q&A or amendments that are linked from the posting so you incorporate the most current instructions.
SECOG procurement resources and what to do next
Start on SECOG’s RFP/RFQ procurement source page to review the current solicitations, summary scopes, submission instructions, and linked supplemental documents. For proposal submissions, use the recipient name and addresses/emails listed on the specific posting (rather than relying on general contact details). If you need to confirm staff contacts relevant to transportation work referenced in the procurement materials, SECOG’s staff page provides a direct listing for individuals including Kate Rattan (Director of Transportation) and SECOG’s main contact line and general address details. After you identify a match, prepare your proposal package in the required submission format, track the submission and questions deadlines for that specific posting, and retain a checklist of every required element named by the solicitation documents linked from the procurement source page.
