Special Notice

Electric Utility Cost Group (EUCG) Hydroelectric Productivity Committee (HPC) Membership

This is not a solicitation. This is a notification of an intent to award a single source procurement under NAICS code 813920. The Bureau of Reclamation Acquisition and Operations Branch in Denver, Colorado will solicit and award a purchase order to EUCG to acquire hydropower program performance benchmarking services across key performance metrics (e.g., cost, operational performance, safety, staffing, etc.) with industry peers. The Government believes that only one responsible source can provide this requirement.

The statutory authority for other than full and open competition in 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), only one source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. If firms believe they have the technical capability to meet this need, submit a technical capability statement alone with business profile to Edward Bradford at ebradford@usbr.gov within five (5) days of this notice. Any information received will be treated as market research information towards future similar or same requirements.

Quotations or proposals received in response to this notice will not be accepted since this notice is not a request for proposal.
