AI Contract Overview

The General Services Administration (GSA) notified utility service and energy supply contractors that despite the absence of an annual appropriation for Fiscal Year 2014 due to a government funding lapse, utility services for Federal buildings are deemed “excepted activities.” This classification permits agencies to continue incurring obligations for such services even without direct appropriations. Consequently, contractors are instructed to maintain the provision of utility and energy services under their current contracts during the funding lapse. Payments for services provided with meter read end dates on or before September 30, 2013, will be processed in accordance with the normal payment schedule. However, payments for services with meter read end dates from October 1, 2013, onward will be delayed until appropriations for all or part of Fiscal Year 2014 are received. Contractors with questions are encouraged to contact Kenneth M. Shutika, Deputy Director of the GSA Energy Division, for further clarification. This guidance ensures continuity of essential utility services to Federal facilities while outlining the payment process amid funding uncertainties.

Full Description

To All GSA Utility Service/Energy Supply Contractors RE: Status of payments for utility service/energy supply under the current Fiscal Year 2014 lapse in funding As you may be aware, GSA and other Federal agencies have not received an annual appropriation for Fiscal Year 2014. In spite of that, utility services for Federal buildings are considered - excepted activities under a lapse in appropriations which allows an agency to incur an obligation for utility services/energy supply in the absence of appropriations. Therefore, utilities/energy suppliers are to continue to provide service/supply under existing contracts to Federal buildings during a lapse in appropriations. For GSA, utilities/energy suppliers will be paid for service/supply delivered with a meter read end date of September 30, 2013 or sooner in accordance with the appropriate due date for the payment of those bills. For utility service/energy supply bills with a meter read end date on October 1, 2013 or later, GSA will process payments as soon as appropriations covering all or a portion of Fiscal Year 2014 are received. Should you have any questions, feel free to contact me at ken.shutika@gsa.gov. Sincerely, Kenneth M. Shutika Deputy Director GSA, Energy Division (PMAA)
