The purpose of this announcement is two fold: 1) to ascertain if there is a viable interest from industry in participating; and 2) to ascertain if the privatization solicitation can be set aside for a) small business, b) 8(a) small business or c) HUBZone small business. North American Industrial Classification Codes of 221122 (Electric Power Distribution), 221210 (Natural Gas Distribution), 221310 (Water Supply Systems) and 221320 (Sewer Treatment Facilities) apply. Corresponding small business size standards are 4 million megawatts, 500 employees, $6M in sales, and $6M in sales, respectively. Parties interested in acquiring utility systems and providing utility distribution services at Edwards AFB should provide a statement of interest for each utility system(s) for which there is interest. The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and its supplements apply to this procurement and interested parties should review the Request for Proposal template at http://www.afcesa.af.mil/Directorate/CEO/Contracts/UtilPrivatization/UPTemplates.htm for information regarding terms and conditions. Specifically, parties are advised the Federal Disputes Clause FAR 52.233-1, Alt 1, found at http://farsite.hill.af.mil/vffara.htm will apply when the entity is providing services where the rates are not set by law or regulation for those particular areas of service and acknowledge understanding that acceptance of this clause is required to be considered responsive to any subsequent RFP. Contractor selection will NOT be made on the basis of information submitted, rather responses will be used to assist in refining the acquisition strategy and subsequent decisions regarding future issuance of a full and open competitive RFP, a set-aside RFP, a sole source RFP, or, if no viable interest, not issuing an RFP. If viable responses are not received, the Government has the discretion to determine no market interest exists and no subsequent RFP will be issued (on a utility-by-utility basis). Specific responses to the following are needed in order for your firm to be considered ?viable? in providing an offer for services under this program. Provide: 1) System of interest; (a) Electric Utility Distribution System; (b) Natural Gas Utility Distribution System; (c) Potable Water Utility Distribution System; (d) Wastewater Utility Distribution System; 2) Your status regarding your authority to support this service: (a) Regulated utility and service is within certificated area of service; (b) Regulated utility providing nonregulated service for this area of service; (c) Regulated utility and service is not within certificated area of service; (d) Non-regulated utility for the service of interest; 3) Classification of your firm: (a) Publicly owned utility; (b) Investor owned utility; (c) Cooperative owned utility; (d) Publicly owned and traded company ? not a utility; (e) Privately owned company; (f) Limited Liability Corporation; (g) C-Corp; (h) Other, please describe; 4) Acknowledge acceptance of application of the Federal Acquisition Regulation and its supplements terms and conditions included in the RFP template; 5) Acknowledgement that you may be required to comply with Cost Accounting Standards; 6) If you propose to provide nonregulated service within your proposed service area your entity will accept the Federal Disputes Clause FAR 52.233-1 Alt 1; 7) Indicate if your firm or entity is or is not a small business, or 8(a), or HUBZone small business (Not-for-profit entities cannot be a small business).
