The Department of Energy, Energy Information Administration (EIA), intends to issue a firm fixed price sole source award utilizing Simplified Acquisition Procedures for Certain Commercial Products to Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnerships (NEEP) to ensure data availability from the Regional Energy Efficiency Database (REED), and to make associated reports available to the public.  REED provides public access to data on electric and natural gas utility energy efficiency and demand-side management program expenditures, energy savings, the cost of saved energy, and avoided emissions impacts. The database supports EIA’s overall mission to make energy data available to the public and informs assumptions for the Annual Energy Outlook (AEO).

This notice of intent is for information purposes only. All sources eligible to meet this requirement must respond in writing. Responses must be supported with strong and convincing evidence that clearly articulate the company’s ability to satisfy this requirement as outlined above. A request for documentation will not be considered as an affirmative response. If no responses that demonstrate comparable capability are received within fifteen (15) calendar days after publication of this notice, then a sole source acquisition award will be made. Responses to this notice must be sent to Katherine.Bowen@hq.doe.gov.
