View moreThe Savannah District (SAS) intends to solicit and award a MATOC on an unrestricted basis and in accordance with the procedures at FAR 15.304(c)(1)(ii) in which award will be made to all qualifying offerors. A qualifying offeror is defined in FAR 2.101 as: “an offeror that is determined to be a responsible source, submits a technically acceptable proposal that conforms to the requirements of the solicitation, and the Contracting Officer has no reason to believe would be likely to offer other than fair and reasonable pricing.” Price will be a selection factor for all orders placed under the awarded contracts. Under this MATOC, hybrid firm-fixed price (FFP) Task Orders with cost-plus fixed fee (CPFF) elements are anticipated due to the uncertainty and volatility surrounding the cost of the fuel required to power the generators. FAR 16.103(b) states a firm-fixed-price contract, which best utilizes the basic profit motive of business enterprise, shall be used when the risk involved is minimal or can be predicted with an acceptable degree of certainty. Due to the nature of well-defined performance-based objectives and standards which will be provided at the Task Order level for these services, the risk associated with this well-defined work is low and therefore, USACE will utilize a firm-fixed price contract type for that portion of the work. However, the total cost for the Task Order-level power generation requirements is also heavily dependent on fuel costs, therefore fuel costs are the highest cost risk. The petroleum market has been volatile, with large swings in cost in recent history. As a result, the use of both FFP and CPFF elements at the Task Order level aids in the reduction of cost risks to the Government and is further mitigated in two ways.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Savannah District issued this draft solicitation to establish a Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) for power system stabilization and power generation services in Puerto Rico. Authorized under disaster declaration FEMA-4671-DR-PR, the acquisition addresses impacts from Hurricane Fiona by providing temporary emergency power augmentation and repairs to generation facilities. The MATOC has a total shared capacity of $5 billion over a five-year ordering period. Work involves providing land-based dual-fuel generating units, temporary transformers, and control cabling, as well as the installation, operation, and maintenance of the equipment, including fuel management and coordination with local utilities PREPA and LUMA.
The government intends to award contracts on an unrestricted basis to all qualifying offerors under solicitation number W912HN23R5005. Task orders will utilize a hybrid structure consisting of firm-fixed price (FFP) and cost-plus fixed fee (CPFF) elements to mitigate risks associated with volatile fuel markets. The primary classification for this requirement is NAICS 221112 Fossil Fuel Electric Power Generation, supplemented by PSC W061 Lease or Rental of Equipment - Electric Wire and Power Distribution Equipment.
The initial draft notice was published on March 7, 2023, with a response deadline of May 12, 2023, and a formal solicitation anticipated for release on or about June 15, 2023. The performance location is centered in Puerto Rico. One attachment, a PDF version of the draft solicitation, was posted on May 3, 2023. Jessica M.
