About this file
This is a Special Notice announcing the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) intent to sole-source a contract for Project Facilitation (PF) Services. The VA Program Contracting Activity (PCAC) plans to negotiate directly with EMP2, Inc. for facilitation services on multiple existing Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC) and Utility Energy Service Contract (UESC) projects. The contract is classified under NAICS code 541330 with a small business size standard of $25.5 million, and will be awarded under the authority of 41 USC 1901 for "only one responsible source."
The sole-source justification centers on EMP2's status as the incumbent project facilitator, with the VA arguing that onboarding a new facilitator would cause unacceptable delays and increased costs. The contract aims to provide continued facilitation support for ongoing energy efficiency projects at VA hospitals, with critical work that impacts patient care facilities. The response deadline is 11-11-2025 at 10:00 Eastern Time, with Nathan Pennington (nathan.pennington@va.gov) serving as the point of contact. This notice is informational only, with no solicitation for quotes or proposals, and the VA explicitly states no contract award will be made based on any responses received.

DESCRIPTION
NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE:
The Veterans Health Administration (VHA), Program Contracting Activity (PCAC) intends to negotiate on a sole-source basis with EMP2, Inc., for Project Facilitation Services for multiple active ESPC and UESC projects. These services are required to be provided by a FEMP-Approved Project Facilitator, see FEMP for farther details.
The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 541330 with a small business size Standard of $25.5 million.
The authority for restricting competition on this requirement is 41 USC 1901, only one responsible source. The basis for this sole source is this requirement is for additional facilitation support on multiple existing ESPC and UESC contracts of which EMP2 is the incumbent project facilitator. The delays in time and the additional cost associated with bringing a new project facilitator onto the project are unacceptable given the ESPC and UESC project began development and were awarded between 5-10 years ago. The amount of work to get a new PF up to speed to review all the projects including the Investment Grade Audits, M&V report, and any other relevant contract documents would be significantly more time and money than the estimated cost of the contract. This would be duplicative, wasteful in both time and money, and more significantly would impact the VA hospital in question relying on completion of the energy efficiency work underneath of these ESPCs and UESCs which in many instances is curing facility deficiencies that impact VA patients.
This notice of intent is not a request for quotes or proposals. No contract award will be made based on quotations or proposals received in response to this notice. No solicitation document exists, and no telephone or email inquiries will be accepted. The point of contact for this notice is Nathan Pennington, email is Nathan.pennington@va.gov.
Disclaimer and Important Notes: No proprietary, classified, confidential, or sensitive information should be included in responses to this notice. This notice does not oblige the Government to award a contract. The Government will not pay for information provided in response to this notice. The Government reserves the right to use information provided by respondents for market research purposes. The Government is under no obligation to acknowledge receipt of the information received or provide feedback to respondents with respect to any information submitted.
