AI Contract Overview

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) intends to enter into a sole source purchase order with Operation Technology, Inc. to acquire an additional user license and maintenance support services for the Electrical Transient Analysis Program (ETAP) network WAN. This software is essential for performing confirmatory analyses of electrical distribution systems at nuclear power plants, which is a regulatory requirement under 10 CFR 50, Appendix B. Since approximately 88% of U.S. nuclear power plants use ETAP software for these analyses, the NRC requires the same software to independently verify the accuracy of utilities' electrical system analyses. Operation Technology, Inc. is the exclusive distributor and service provider of ETAP, justifying the sole source procurement. The contract’s performance period is from July 1, 2009, through June 30, 2010. Interested parties who believe they can fulfill these requirements must demonstrate their technical capabilities convincingly by June 25, 2009, although this notice is not a solicitation for competitive proposals. The decision to compete or award the contract solely rests with the NRC Contracting Officer, based on information submitted. Requests for the solicitation will only be honored if the requester shows the ability to provide the required services. The contract falls under NAICS code 511210, pertaining to software vendors, and all inquiries or responses should be directed to the NRC contract specialist Jennifer A. DeFino.

Full Description

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) proposes to enter into a sole source purchase order with Operation Technology, Inc., to purchase an additional user license for the existing Electrical Transient Analysis Program (ETAP) network WAN and to purchase maintenance and support services to cover the existing ETAP network WAN and the additional user. This software will be used by the NRC to perform confirmatory analysis of electrical distribution systems at nuclear power plants. In accordance with NRC regulations, 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, nuclear utilities are required to perform analyses of the electrical distribution systems installed in nuclear power plants in order to revise their license design basis. Performance of this analysis requires the use of computer simulation models. Approximately 88% of the U.S. nuclear power plants use the ETAP software for the analyses of their electrical distribution systems. In order for the NRC to make independent in-house assessments of the accuracy of the applicant's analysis, the NRC staff must use identical software to the nuclear power plant (i.e. ETAP). Therefore, the NRC must use ETAP to perform confirmatory analysis of electrical distribution systems at nuclear power plants. Operation Technology, Inc. is the only organization that distributes and provides maintenance services for the ETAP software. The period of performance of this effort is July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010. Requests for copies of this solicitation will not be honored unless the respondent provides evidence showing their capability to perform the required services. The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination not to compete this requirement based on response to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Contracting Officer. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Any response must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. In doing so, interested parties must submit technical capabilities and any other information that demonstrates their ability to meet the NRC's needs to Jennifer A. DeFino, Contract Specialist, by e-mail at Jennifer.DeFino@nrc.gov or mail at 11555 Rockville Pike, Mail Stop TWB-01-B10M, Rockville MD 20852, or fax to (301) 492-3437 not later than June 25, 2009. Telephone requests will not be honored.
