A--Sole Source Award

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy intends to extend an existing task order with Sentech, Inc. for a period of twelve months. This extension will be processed under the Federal Acquisition Regulation guidelines, specifically using FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B) and (C), which restricts consideration to schedule holders, thereby justifying a sole source award. The task order, originally awarded on March 13, 2013, under the General Services Administration’s Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) for Professional Engineering Services, is set to expire on March 13, 2014. The contract extension will not involve any modification value, keeping the current terms intact. This procurement approach is not open for competitive bidding and serves as a continuation of support under the previously established task order number DE-AT01-07EE11182. By utilizing the existing contract GS-23F-0102R under the 871 Special Item Number, the DOE streamlines its acquisition process for professional engineering services necessary to support its mission. This action reflects the agency’s intent to maintain continuity of services with Sentech without soliciting new proposals.
