--Department of Energy Financial Statement Audits

The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Headquarters Procurement Services, specifically the Office of Inspector General, intends to extend an existing Task Order (DE-AT01-07IG01539) with KPMG Inc. for an additional six months. This extension is to complete financial statement audits for the Southwestern Power Administration and the Western Area Power Administration. The original Task Order, awarded on September 28, 2007, was set to expire on September 30, 2013, and the extension will extend the period to March 31, 2014. The extension will be executed using the procedures under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(C) and will utilize KPMG’s placement under the GSA Financial and Business Solutions Schedule GS-23F-8127H and the Mission Oriented Business Integrated Services Schedule GS-10F-0351L. This notice is informational and not a solicitation for new proposals; however, if any firms believe the extension should not be granted, they are encouraged to submit a capability statement by June 14, 2013. The contracting approach leverages existing schedule contracts for financial and audit services, ensuring continuity and leveraging past performance with KPMG. The contract supports critical audit functions for DOE power administration entities, reflecting ongoing oversight and financial accountability within the department.
