About this file
This document is a Justification & Approval for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Simplified Acquisitions Over the Micropurchase Threshold for the National Park Service (NPS). The NPS seeks to procure a one-year sole source contract with Enverus Power and Renewables (P&R) Foundations & Project Tracking with Fusion, a data service providing comprehensive information about the U.S. power generation and transmission industry. The product will help NPS understand and reduce impacts to park units and program lands, implement specific executive and secretarial orders, and prioritize conservation efforts by offering detailed mapping, grid connection studies, and energy project tracking across thermal and renewable power sources.
Market research determined Enverus is the only vendor offering this specific combination of national energy data, mapping capabilities, and the ability to upload NPS park boundaries for comparative analysis. The sole source justification is based on the unique comprehensiveness of the product, which would otherwise require NPS staff to manually aggregate data from multiple government reports and independent system operators - a process deemed untenable and far less effective. While another product from Rystad Energy was identified, it lacks the site-specific mapping and identification of potential impacts to NPS resources that Enverus provides.

JUSTIFICATION & APPROVAL FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN
COMPETITION for SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITIONS OVER THE
MICROPURCHASE THRESHOLD (See FAR Part 2)
(See FAR 13.106-1)
Date: 11 March 2025
PR Number: 0044013503
1. Nature and/or description of the item/service being procured and its intended use (include the anticipated cost):
The NPS requires information that provides a comprehensive and holistic view of the power generation and transmission industry across the U.S. to understand and reduce impacts to NPS units and program lands, and to implement Executive Order 14156, Executive Order 14154 and Secretarial Orders 3417 and 3418. This will enable early work with developers to address NPS concerns and fast track the development of their projects to provide a reliable, diversified, growing, and affordable supply of energy. The information Enverus provides includes valuable electric generation information for thermal power, including coal, nuclear, petroleum, geothermal, natural gas, waste incineration plants, solar, wind and battery storage projects and the associated gen-ties and transmission lines that are necessary for all electrical grid functioning. NPS also requires information on energy production outputs and the likelihood of approval for these power resources to connect to the grid to prioritize our efforts to conserve NPS units, program lands and overall resources, consistent with NPS mandates. Enverus Power and Renewables (P&R) Foundations & Project Tracking with Fusion, enables access to the largest thermal and renewable projects and transmission line data sets in the United States, including the ability to upload park boundaries, providing users with the ability to compare energy projects with NPS units and program lands and via the collected information on the grid connection approval process to understand which projects are likely to move forward and where to best focus our limited resources.
Comprehensive project and company information, alerts, simple analytics tools, and grid connection approval timelines and calculations for success or withdrawal deliver critical information resulting in better, faster decisions and providing relevant information to the agency.
Given the breath of information needed by the NPS, through extensive market research we have determined that Enverus Power and Renewables (P&R) Foundations & Project Tracking with Fusion will fulfill these requirements and is a good value to the Federal Government.
The anticipated cost for the 1-year sole source contract with Enverus Power and Renewables (P&R) Foundations & Project Tracking with Fusion is $
2. Sole Source Justification Rationale (Check one and explain below):
X Only one responsible source. The statutory authority permitting this sole source action is 41 U.S. Code § 1901(e)(2), Simplified acquisition procedures - a sole source acquisition using simplified acquisition procedures for the acquisition of commercial items, as implemented by 10 U.S. C. § 3204(e) by FAR 13.501(a).
Urgent and compelling circumstances exist. Include critical delivery or performance dates, and when you became aware of the requirement. Provide a specific statement of the impact on Government operations, financial or otherwise, if the required delivery or performance dates are not met.

The NPS requires information that provides a comprehensive and holistic view of the power generation and transmission industry across the U.S. to understand and reduce impacts to NPS units and program lands, and to implement Executive Order 14156, Executive Order 14154 and Secretarial Orders 3417 and 3418. NPS also requires information on energy production outputs and the likelihood of approval for these power resources to connect to the grid in order to prioritize our work to protect NPS units, program lands and overall resources, consistent with NPS mandates. Enverus Power and Renewables (P&R) Foundations & Project Tracking with Fusion, appears to be the only source for such information in the country. Some of the information NPS required could be gleaned from government reports and the individual independent system operators in the US, but all of this data would have to be aggregated, mapped and analyzed by NPS staff using untenable amounts of time and effort while coming nowhere close to what Enverus Power and Renewables (P&R) Foundations & Project Tracking with Fusion enables. The key requirements that must be met are comprehensive national coverage, unlimited access, and deliverables such as mapping, grid connection studies and approval updates.
3. Market Research. Please explain the results or why one was not performed. State whether any other offers were received or anyone expressed interest:
Market research revealed no other vendors offering the information, mapping, a nalysis and ability to upload NPS unit and program land maps for comparison with energy development sites that Enverus Power and Renewables (P&R) Foundations & Project Tracking with Fusion provides. No offers were received nor was there any interest as NPS could not find any company after extensive searching which could provide the information, we need and ability to add our park and program land maps to their collected data to identify potential
