The amendment is effective April 21, 2026, at 1:48 PM PDT and applies to Solicitation 129J6125Q7000.

The purpose of this amendment is to reopen Solicitation 129J6125Q7000 for an open season Onboarding period for Water Handling services in the West Zone, Region 5. Vendor quote responses are due no later than May 11, 2026, at 2:00 PM Pacific time and must be submitted through the VIPR NextGen application.

This amendment opens the original solicitation to conduct Onboarding in accordance with Exhibit H requirements. The Onboarding is not a new procurement but operates under the original solicitation terms. Award decisions during open season Onboarding will use the same evaluation factors and subfactors as the original solicitation, and all new IBPA awards must be identical to the original awards in terms, conditions, and period of performance. Existing IBPA awardees may revise rates, modify resources, or add new resources during this period. All proposed resources must meet the original solicitation criteria, and new submissions will be evaluated using the same evaluation factors. Any newly awarded contractors or newly accepted resources will be eligible for dispatch and BPA calls in accordance with ordering procedures in the agreements.
