The purpose of this acquisition is to obtain support for the review of ENERGY STAR materials and a final summary report delivering an assessment of the state of the market for energy efficiency in the management practice of real estate investment asset advisors. Under this order, the Contractor will provide an understanding for the current level of interest for improving energy efficiency for commercial properties; the value of energy efficiency in investment properties; any misconceptions of the potential value of energy efficiency and reduced carbon emissions for properties; and any perceived or real barriers to improved energy performance. It has been determined that KA is uniquely qualified to conduct this research due to the fact that their research clients include the leading and largest real estate investment advisory firms in the country with access to the most important research subjects among asset advisors. In addition KA's research subjects include the leading third-party property management companies, that, as ENERGY STAR participants, provide unique insight into the barriers and challenges of marketing environmental performance to advisory firms. Lastly, KA has experience conducting research of real estate investment industries in their engagement in environmental issues and investment practices. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code for this procurement is 541620. NO SOLICITATION OR REQUEST FOR QUOTE (RFQ) IS AVAILABLE. Notwithstanding, any firm that believes it is capable of meeting EPA's requirement as stated herein may submit a capabilities statement, which if received by the response date of this announcement will be considered.
