S--Waste water permits

Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks plan to issue a sole source purchase order to the State of California, State Water Resource Control Board, to cover annual fees associated with wastewater discharge requirements across five park locations. This intended procurement will be conducted without a competitive solicitation, relying on the authority of relevant federal acquisition regulations that allow sole source awards when only one source is capable of providing the required services. The contract will be negotiated exclusively with this single source to ensure compliance with environmental regulatory obligations. The contract, identified under the solicitation number DOI-SNOTE-040129-001, is managed by the Department of the Interior’s Dsc Contracting Services Division located in Denver, Colorado. No public request for quotes will be issued, reflecting the non-competitive nature of this procurement. The focus of the agreement centers on maintaining compliance with wastewater discharge permits, critical for the ongoing environmental management and operations of the parks. This arrangement underscores the specialized nature of the service and the necessity of contracting directly with the State Water Resource Control Board.
