Utilities Privatization - Privatization of the Electric Utility System at Norfolk Naval Shipyard, VA

The Department of Defense’s Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy is issuing an RFP for the privatization of utility services, requiring offerors to submit a comprehensive technical proposal that demonstrates the ability to meet installation‑specific utility requirements and all Technical Capability sub‑factors. The solicitation mandates a three‑volume format (Technical Proposal – max 200 pages per system, Past Performance – max 50 pages, Contract Documentation – no page limit) plus a separate Price volume, all submitted on five certified, virus‑free CD/DVDs (no electronic, fax, or password‑protected files). Offerors must also develop and certify a Small Business Subcontracting Plan that identifies source‑selection methods (e.g., existing company lists, Minority Purchasing Council, PTAC, SBDC, MBDC) and ensures equitable opportunities for SB, VOSB, SD‑VOSB, HUBZone, SDB, and WOSB concerns, including detailed dollar and percentage goals for each category. Key compliance points include: (1) a detailed description of the principal supplies and services to be subcontracted to each small‑business category; (2) justification of subcontracting goals based on procurement history or resources; (3) identification of key personnel and their roles for both the prior DOD Utilities Privatization project (Feb 2020) and the current effort; (4) discussion of any unique technical challenges encountered on the prior project and the solutions applied; and (5) clear, stand‑alone narrative in each volume without cross‑referencing. Failure to provide a substantive technical solution beyond restating Section C specifications will render the proposal technically unacceptable.
