AI Contract Overview

The contract concerns the Government's intention to privatize the natural gas distribution utility system at Naval Station Everett, Waterfront Complex in Everett, Washington. Initially, a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued in September 2002, with proposals due by March 2003, but no responses were received. Following Department of Defense guidance for privatizing defense utility systems, the Government reached out to the local utility provider, Puget Sound Energy, to negotiate a sole source acquisition. This privatization effort involves conveying the utility system to Puget Sound Energy and awarding a long-term, firm fixed-price contract for utility services. Since no competitive offers were received, the procurement will proceed as a non-competitive sole source negotiation under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c) and the Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1, which allows for sole source awards when only one responsible source is available. The notice invites any other interested parties to express interest within 30 days, although the Government does not intend to award a contract based solely on such responses; rather, the information gathered will determine if any qualified alternative source exists. If no viable alternatives are identified, Puget Sound Energy will be considered the only practical provider eligible for this privatization agreement. Responses and inquiries are to be directed to the Engineering Field Activity Northwest office, specifically to Contracting Officer Patrick Donnelly.

Full Description

Notice of intent to privatize the natural gas distribution utility system at Naval Station Everett, Waterfront Complex, Everett, Washington pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2688, as a sole source procurement with the local utility provider, Puget Sound Energy. The Government's intent is to convey the utility system and award a long-term firm fixed price utility services contract. On 27 Sep 2002, a Request for Proposal, N44255-01-R-8003, was issued as a competitive procurement to privatize this system. Proposals were due on 31 Mar 2003. No proposals were received in response to Request for Proposal, N44255-01-R-8003. In accordance with Department of Defense Guidance for Privatizing Defense Utility Systems issued on 09 Oct 2002, the local utility provider, Puget Sound Energy, was contacted to determine if Puget Sound Energy would be interested in entering into an agreement with the Navy to privatize the natural gas distribution system at Naval Station Everett, Waterfront Complex, Everett, Washington. As this procurement will now be a non-competitive action, this sole source negotiation will be accomplished under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c) and Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1, which allows for the use of other than competitive source selection procedures when only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This notice is to provide any other parties an opportunity to indicate an interest in the privatization of this utility system. All responses must be received within thirty (30) days from the date of publication of this notice. All information shall be furnished at no cost or obligation to the Government. No contract will be awarded on the basis of information received in response to this notice, but will be used to determine if a qualified comparable source is available and more advantageous to the Government in a future procurement. If no acceptable interest is received, the Navy shall conclude that the only entity that can, as a practical matter, enter into an agreement to privatize the natural gas distribution system at Naval Station Everett, Waterfront Complex, Everett, Washington, is Puget Sound Energy. Responses to this notice as well as any questions should be directed to: Engineering Field Activity Northwest (EFANW), Attention Patrick Donnelly, Contracting Officer, 19917 7th Avenue NE, Poulsbo, WA 98370-7570.
