Notice of Intent to Sole Source to Avista Corporation

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) intends to award a sole-source contract for Electric/Gas Utility Services for the NIOSH Spokane facility to Avista Corporation. The contract will be for a period of 12 months. The justification for this non-competitive action is that only one source is reasonably available due to the unique regulatory and geographical constraints. The contract will provide electric utility services to the NIOSH Spokane facility. Some key points to consider: • The contract is for a sole-source acquisition, which means that only one vendor will be considered. • The contract period is 12 months. • The justification for the sole-source acquisition is based on the uniqueness of the requirement and the limited availability of vendors. • The contract will be awarded to Avista Corporation.
