RECs Basic Ordering Agreement RFP

This is a SYNOPSIS for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 5.2, as supplemented with additional information. This announcement does not constitute the solicitation. The solicitation will be issued as a Request for Proposal (RFP) and will incorporate provisions and clauses as in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 05-82. Additional requirements may be added by amendment.

DLA ENERGY, Electricity Team (csteam@dla.mil) intends to establish a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) under NSN 9140-01-456-2020 with qualified offerors, on an OPEN CONTINUOUS basis to provide Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) to various Continental United States (CONUS) Department of Defense and Federal Civilian installations to include but are not limited to the US Air Force, US Department of Agriculture, National Air and Space Administration, NREL, NETL, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Energy, Department of Interior, Environmental Protection Agency, US Patent & Trade Office, US Census Bureau, Department of Transportation, Indian Health Services, Food & Drug Administration, Bureau of Indian Affairs , National Institutes of Health, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Department of Treasury.

The RECs BOA RFP is open continuously for a period of five (5) years from solicitation issue date identified on the SF1449 Block 6. The purpose of a BOA is to establish multiple agreements, based on initial non-price factor evaluations (which will be identified in Section M of the subsequent Request for Proposal).

A BOA is not a contract; it is an agreement. A BOA does not imply any agreement by the Government to place future contracts or orders with the contractor. $12.5M is the maximum ordering capacity for all potential orders issued amongst all BOA Holder(s) over the 5-year ordering period cumulatively.

DLA Energy is the Administrator (owner) of the BOA(s) and is the only Ordering Agency authorized to modify the base terms and clause of BOA Holders. Authorized Ordering Agencies may add local provisions or clauses when they issue RFQ’s referencing the BOA, provided they do not conflict with the BOA terms and clauses.

There are no firm requirements at this time; therefore, the Government is maximizing BOA participation by going out “full and open.”

For anticipated requirements expected under this BOA, DLA Energy determined the most predominant North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code to be 221115- ‘Wind Electric Power Generation'. The Federal Register was used to provide rationale for the Request for Proposals (RFP) NAICS determination. In accordance with Part V Small Business Administration 78 Fed. Reg. 191 (Oct 2, 2013), the predominant (NAICS) code and size standard is required for all contracts, as well as for all orders. NAICS 221115 shares the same Size Standard as all other supplies that will be identified in the Request for Proposal (RFP) Section B, "Supplies to be Furnished".
