About this opportunity
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), specifically the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Spokane Campus, has published a Notice of Intent to award a sole-source contract for electric and gas utility services to Avista Corporation. This Special Notice was posted on March 11, 2026, and falls under the Electric Power Distribution industry category (NAICS 221122). The CDC's Office of Acquisition Services is the publishing agency responsible for this procurement action. The Government has determined that a sole-source award is appropriate based on FAR 6.302-1 (Only One Responsible Source) due to unique regulatory and geographical constraints affecting the NIOSH Spokane facility. This Notice of Intent is not a competitive solicitation, and no formal proposals will be accepted from other vendors.
The primary objective of this procurement is to secure a 12-month electric and gas utility services contract for the NIOSH Spokane facility. Responses to this notice will be accepted only to verify whether a bona fide competitive alternative source exists; the anticipated award date is April 1, 2026, with a response deadline of March 25, 2026. The justification for sole-source procurement cites that Avista Utilities is the only electric utility provider available to serve the facility due to geographic monopoly conditions in the service area. No contractors are eligible to submit competitive proposals under this notice, as the Government has already determined that only one responsible source exists. All inquiries regarding this notice must be submitted in writing to Ronalda Ohio at uex0@cdc.gov, and telephone inquiries will not be honored.
