Wal-Mart Stores' choice of providers for a solar-power investment has been put off past its anticipated date, according to people familiar with the process.

The retail giant at the end of last year put out a request for proposals to suppliers soliciting bids on what could be a large-scale installation of solar electric power at company stores.

Responses to bids, initially expected at the end of February, are being delayed, according to two people with knowledge of the situation.

One company bidding on the deal said Wal-Mart's decision has been put off four to six weeks, which would put the date for bid responses in April.
