SEPCO_SOLE SOURCE

The Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP), Fleet Logistics Center Jacksonville (FLCJ), intends to issue a sole source award for the procurement of SEPCO Solar Lights to SOLAR ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY. The procurement aims to repurpose existing street light poles to utilize the required solar lighting, necessary over critical locations along major crosswalks. The existing solar lighting system was originally installed in 2011 using SEPCO-manufactured equipment. • The sole source award is due to the compatibility of SEPCO components with the existing solar lighting infrastructure. • Other manufacturers may produce similar solar lighting components, but no alternate source has been identified that can be installed without additional engineering analysis and compatibility testing. • The use of non-SEPCO components would introduce technical risk, require additional engineering costs, and may create operational issues. • The applicable North American Industrial Classification System Code (NAICS) is 335139, with a Small Business Size of 1250.
