This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for a Limited Source Justification for electric and natural gas utility services at the Military Ocean Terminal Concord (MOTCO) in California. The U.S. Army Contracting Command - Rock Island Arsenal (ACC-RI) is seeking two firm-fixed-price task orders under the GSA Multiple Award Schedules program for electrical and natural gas services, with the only available source being the local utility provider for the Concord, California area.

The contract will cover electrical and natural gas services from April 2025 to September 2030, with a base year and four option years. The utility has been providing services to MOTCO since the 1940s and is the sole provider in the geographic area. The document emphasizes that these utility services are critical to base operations, and failure to award the contract could result in significant productivity loss and potential mission failure. The total contract value is not explicitly stated, but will be based on previous utility usage and per-unit rates. The contracting officer, Taylor Beam, has certified the justification and determined it represents the best value to the government under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) guidelines.
