Original Set Aside:

Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Northwest (NAVFAC Northwest) intends to enter in to a Utility sharing agreement with the local electric utility provider (Puget Sound Energy (PSE)). As part of a substation replacement project, P-799, the Navy will authorize PSE to install equipment that PSE will own to serve the Navy as well as surrounding customers with an additional source of electricity to the area. The additional source of electricity to the substation will increase resiliency to NUWC Keyport and also the surrounding area in case of an interruption in service from the substation’s other power sources. The Navy’s cost share of this portion of the project is anticipated to be between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. It is anticipated that the task order for this work will be awarded on or around 31 December 2021. FAR 5.202(a)(5) exempts sole-source Utility Services from public advertising requirements. However, DFARS PGI 206.302-1 requires that a “Request for Information” or “Sources Sought” notice be advertised when other than full and open competition will be sought for a procurement that uses “Only One Source and no Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements” as the justification. In this case the current and only provider of electric services within the Keyport service area is PSE. This advertisement fulfills the DFARS requirement. An approved Justification and Authorization (J&A) will be published within 14 days of contract award. Any question regarding this notice may be directed to the Contract Specialist, Charles Benson at charles.d.benson4.civ @us.navy.mil.
