GSA Purchase of Unbundled Energy Attribute Certificates

09/09/2024 Amendment 001 hereby changes the vintage requirement from December 31, 2024 to September 30, 2024. All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.

This solicitation is being issued for commercial products in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 12.6, Streamlined Procedures for Evaluation and Solicitation for Commercial Products and Commercial Services, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. 

The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) is requesting quotes for approximately 10,000 unbundled Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs) from generation resources that deliver to certain Balancing Authorities more fully described in the solicitation and qualify as carbon pollution-free electricity (CFE) in order to meet Federal environmental goals laid out in Section 203 of Executive Order (E.O.) 14057, Catalyzing Clean Energy Industries and Jobs Through Federal Sustainability (December 8, 2021) and its associated White House Council on Environmental Quality Implementing Instructions. 

GSA anticipates a single, one-time award of a Firm-Fixed Price Purchase Order as the result of the solicitation. The solicitation is being set aside under the Indian Energy Purchase Preference established in Title V of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, codified at 25 U.S.C. § 3502(d), which established a preference for purchasing electricity and other energy products, to include EACs, from Indian Tribes and Tribal Enterprises. To be considered for this procurement the supplier must be classified as a Tribal Majority-Owned Business Organization.

Tribal Majority-Owned Business Organizations are defined as an energy and resource production enterprise, partnership, consortium, corporation or other type of business organization in which the majority of the interest is owned and controlled by one or more Indian Tribes (25 U.S.C. §3502(d)(1)).
