The U.S. EPA/OAR/OAP Clean Air Markets Division (CAMD), under the authority of the Federal Acquisition Rules (FAR) Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, intends to issue a sole source purchase order to Ventyx Energy, LLC. of Atlanta, GA for Ventyx Velocity Suite software licenses. The license agreements will last for one-year. The justification is as follows. Ventyx provides software license products - EV Power, EV Fuels, EV Market-Ops, and EV Energy Map - as part of its common Velocity Suite (VS) interface and toolset. VS allows for the analysis of energy industry fuel consumption, electricity production and market trends in both a web and desktop application. CAMD utilized VS in support of the Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Rule and will use it in the future for auditing and quality assurance of GHG emissions results. CAMD also provides VS analyses to other EPA offices upon request and will continue to do so. Market research indicates that although software products containing elements of VS are available, it would be difficult for CAMD to substitute another manufacturer?s application without costly and time-consuming customization, which would entail a significant and damaging disruption of services. NO SOLICITATION OR REQUEST FOR QUOTE IS AVAILABLE. Notwithstanding, any firm that believes it is capable of meeting this requirement may submit a response, which if received by June 28, 2012 at 4:00 p.m., will be considered. Responses to this announcement must be in writing to the Contract Specialist at
