- Description
- The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Energy Policy and Analysis within the Office of Energy Policy and Systems Analysis (EPSA), intends to award a sole source contract to Bentek Energy, LLC (Bentek). The requirement consists of an assessment of baseline midstream infrastructure for natural gas necessary to support development of the Quadrennial Energy Review with a focus on transmission and distribution infrastructure to be developed in collaboration with staff from the Office of Energy Systems and Policy Analysis. The statutory authority for permitting other than full and open competition for this contract is Section 303[c][1] of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949, as amended by the Competition in Contracting Act, 41 USC 253[c][1], and implemented by FAR 6.302-1[a][2][ii][B], which authorizes other than full and open competition when there is only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirem ents; and when it is likely that an award to any other source may result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency?s requirements. Bentek is the only known organization that can provide this assessment and is uniquely qualified to support the DOE in completing development of a baseline assessment of U.S. natural gas midstream infrastructure. Bentek has specialized knowledge of U.S. natural gas infrastructure due to their daily access to natural gas flows at wellheads, gathering lines, natural gas processing plants, intrastate pipelines, interstate pipelines, natural gas storage facilities, electric power plants, local distribution companies, and industrial facilities and personnel with the requisite expertise. This is a notice of intent and not a request for competitive proposals. No solicitation is available for this requirement. If a firm believes that DOE should not pursue this sole source procurement with Bentek Energy, LLC, then they should submit a capability statement and pricing information for the requirement by 12:00pm EST on March 19, 2014. A determination by the Government to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The anticipated period of performance will be for 12-months.
