Tennessee Valley Authority, Procurement, 1101 Market Street, Chattanooga, TN 37402

R -- PROFESIONAL, ADMINISTRATION, AND MANAGEMENT SUPPORT SERVICES SOL n/a DUE 102299 POC Carolyn Perry, Fax (423) 751-4948, e-mail cperry@va.gov TVA and participating power distributors are planning to launch a green power market test in April, 2000. As a part of this effort, various energy efficiency links are being pursued. A recommendation has been made to pursue a partner to provide an e-commerce site that will allow all TVA customers to pursue energy efficiency products. The partner should be willing to provide residential green power participates with discounts on energy efficiency products. The estimated number of green power participates for the one year market test is 7,000. The target market for green power tends to be higher educated and have more disposable income which should be in line with the target market for this type of e-commerce sites. The objective is to provide a source for energy efficiency products; encourage the use of these products; and reward green power participants with a discount on these products. The vendor should provide an ordering system via the Internet, customer service, and fullfillment for energy efficiency products. Product pricing should be comparable with market value with special discounts for green power participants. Products will not be subsidized by TVA. TVA would require a monthly report on the number and types of energy efficiency devices purchased by Valley residents. The Green Power program will be launched April, 2000. The e-commerce site should be operational at this time. The partnering vendor will be selected by December 1999. Posted 10/08/99 (W-SN390248). (0281)
