Synopsis of proposed increase of the Mission Execution Support Services Contract

The Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to increase the ceiling on the Mission Execution Support Services Contract with KBC Energy Solutions, LLC by $150 million. This single source modification pertains to contract 89243323CFE000074, which supports NETL's program and project planning, execution, evaluation, and process assessments across their facilities in Morgantown, WV, Pittsburgh, PA, and Albany, OR. The contract encompasses a broad range of mission-critical services including technical writing, graphic design, meeting planning and facilitation, technical proposal review, peer review support, road-mapping, project portfolio assessments, data management, process improvement, and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) support. NETL has determined that KBC Energy Solutions, LLC is the only source capable of providing the unique combination of services required for this contract. The notice is set aside for total small business participation and falls under NAICS code 541330 for Engineering Services.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to inform the contracting community of NETL's planned ceiling increase to prevent interruption of mission-critical support services. Without this modification, the current contract ceiling would be insufficient to enable the contractor to maintain full operations during the base period or any exercised option periods, potentially forcing NETL to suspend major mission support activities until a new or substantially modified contract could be established. Interested parties must contact Contract Specialist Stefanie Page at Stefanie.Page@netl.doe.gov with the subject line "Interest in ME Synopsis" by the July 22, 2025 deadline. Contractors responding to this notice must provide their business name, Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), address, and a concise one-page capability statement demonstrating their qualifications to support NETL's mission execution requirements. This notice serves as the required public announcement under FAR Part 5.2 for the proposed contract action and will remain posted until the specified deadline.
