This is a Limited Sources Justification document for the sole source procurement of MCG Energy Solutions software renewal from MCG through their GSA Schedule GS-35F-0332T. The Department of Energy requires continued use of MCG's proprietary software, which is essential for providing power scheduling and transmission services, performing energy accounting functions, and maintaining automated electric power trading operations. The justification states that MCG is the only source capable of providing maintenance and support for their proprietary software, making this a sole source procurement under GSA Schedule terms.

The period of performance is for 12 months, with an estimated value of $154,367.80. The contract is being awarded directly through GSA Schedule GS-35F-0332T, with MCG Energy Solutions, LLC being the only authorized provider of maintenance and support for their software products. The justification notes that market research confirmed no other vendors can provide support for MCG's proprietary software, and switching to a different system would result in substantial duplication of costs and unacceptable delays.
