Synopsis of proposed increase of the Strategic Analysis Support Services Contract

The U.S. Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) in Morgantown, WV, Pittsburgh, PA, and Albany, OR, is planning to issue a single source modification to the existing Strategic Analysis (SA) Support Services Contract with KeyLogic, LLC, a large business. The primary purpose of this modification is to increase the contract ceiling by $175 million, ensuring the continuation of essential support activities without interruption. The SA contract encompasses four core areas: strategic planning for NETL and its programs, comprehensive energy analysis spanning markets, resource distribution, and technoeconomic assessments, development of advanced modeling and analysis tools to address emerging challenges, and the identification and engagement of partners and sponsors to facilitate technology transfer and expand the impact of NETL’s research and development efforts. This support is critical for maintaining the agency’s mission, and the ceiling increase is necessary to sustain full operational capacity during the current and potential future performance periods. Without this increase, the existing ceiling would be insufficient, risking suspension of major mission activities until a new or significantly modified contract can be established. KeyLogic is identified as the sole provider capable of delivering the specialized and integrated services required for this contract, making the procurement a sole-source action under FAR regulations. The synopsis, issued in accordance with FAR Part 5.2, is open for responses until July 7, 2025, and interested parties are encouraged to contact the designated Contract Specialist, Ms. Amanda Lopez, via email, providing their business details and a brief capability statement. The contract falls under NAICS code 541330, which covers engineering services, and the work is performed within the United States, primarily in Morgantown, WV. This action aims to ensure uninterrupted support for NETL’s strategic energy analysis and technology development initiatives, which are vital for advancing national energy priorities.
