B--Togus and WRJ Environmental Assesment and RFP Support

This is a notice of intent by the Department of Veterans Affairs National Energy Business Center, 4141 Rockside Rd, Seven Hills, OH 44131 to solicit only with Onix, Inc, a women owned small business, only using sole source procedures as described in FAR part 13 for environmental assessment and requirement support services for a Combined Heat and Power system located in Togus Maine and White River Junction. The government believes that the substance of the solicitation does resemble a competitive acquisition as this is a follow on contract for the continued development of a major system where the award would result in substantial duplication of costs which is not expected to be recovered by competition and would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements. Other persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement. However, such capability information will be used solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct future procurements of this nature on a competitive basis. All information shall be furnished at no cost or obligation to the government. A determination by the government not to open the requirement to competition is solely within the discretion of the government in accordance with the authority prescribed in FAR 13.106-1(b). All inquiries must be submitted by email to Jonathan Jewel, Contract Specialist Intern [email protected] by no later then COB September 25, 2009 (Eastern Standard Time)..
