JOFOC FCI Tallahassee

Electric, Natural Gas, Water and Wastewater Utility Services

Competition Before any Subsequent Acquisition for the Supplies or Services Required:

Contracting and requirement staff should continue to conduct appropriate market research to determine if sources capable of satisfying the agency’s requirement exist and to overcome competition barriers. Deregulation laws are presently nonexistent and no alternative source of service is currently available. A review of government procurement database shows only the FBOP is currently issuing orders to the City of Tallahassee for electric, natural gas, water and wastewater utility requirements. FCI Tallahassee is a consumer of services from the municipal public utility.

If another potential source emerges, the agency will assess whether competition for future requirements is feasible. FCI Tallahassee will continue to monitor the trends in the utility industry to see if competition or sources that may be able to meet the minimum needs of the government and its utility requirements. Should opportunities arise in the future FCI Tallahassee will take appropriate action.
