Direct Supply Natural Gas

The Defense Energy Support Center (DESC) is now preparing the solicitation requirements for Direct Supply Natural Gas for delivery to various Department of Defense and Federal Civilian installations located throughout the continental United States. The purpose of this SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE is to determine the availability of small business Natural Gas suppliers that are able to obtain their Natural Gas supply from Small Business Natural Gas producers. A valid written supply commitment from the operating small business Natural Gas Supplier(s) who will supply the small business firm is required and must be in the form of a signed copy of agreement between the small business firm and the supplier providing the product. This agreement must also identify the supplier's name, the location(s) where the product will be available, and the name and phone number of the supplier's point of contact for further information. A statement from the supplier that each product will meet the applicable Government specification is required. This supply commitment may be contingent upon the award of a small business contract with DESC. Except for this contingency, this agreement must clearly be a commitment to supply the product, not simply an agreement to discuss supply if a small business reservation is included. The supplier must agree that the quantity committed to the small business firm will not be offered to DESC in any other manner under this solicitation.
