Description
The Defense Energy Support Center (DESC) seeks to identify, and obtain information from, responsible sources in connection with the privatization of the water distribution and wastewater collection systems at the United States Military Academy (USMA) - West Point, NY.    Privatization is defined as the conveyance of a utility system to a municipal, private, regional, district, or cooperative utility company or other entity.    The conveyance may consist of all right, title, and interest of the United States in the utility system.   
In conjunction with the conveyance of the systems, the Contractor will be required to provide utility services, including improvements, upgrades, repairs, expansions, investments, and plant replacement, as well as continued operation and maintenance of the utility distribution systems.    Additionally, the Contractor shall furnish all necessary labor, management, supervision, permits, equipment, supplies, materials, transportation, and any other incidental services for the conveyed systems.    Utility Privatization (UP) will be accomplished in accordance with 10 U.S.C. ?2688 ? Utility Systems: Conveyance Authority.
This Sources Sought Notice (hereinafter ?Notice?) is an essential step in determining market interest and feasibility.    Responses received will be used to develop marketing strategies for the potential privatization of utilities at this installation.    Should interest be determined sufficient, a formal solicitation may be forthcoming.    Interested parties should provide a statement of interest on company letterhead by no later than 4:00 pm on Thursday, February 14, 2008.    Responses are preferred via e-mail, but hard copies and facsimiles will also be accepted.
At a minimum, the statement of interest shall address:    (1) capability and experience in utility privatization or owning and operating utility systems; (2) financial capability to justify potential award of such a contract; (3) a primary point of contact, including phone number and e-mail address; and (4) an indication of the size of the business (large, small, or any sub-category of small business).    The potential for set-asides for small businesses and small disadvantaged businesses will be considered on the basis of the responses received.
This Notice is solely for the Government?s use as a market research tool.    As such, the issuance of a competitive solicitation is not guaranteed.    If determined appropriate, then both a synopsis and a solicitation may be anticipated in the March-April 2008 timeframe.    All responsible sources are encouraged to submit a response to this Notice.    All information received will be considered.    Failure to respond to this Notice does not preclude a firm from offering on any resultant solicitation; however, a lack of interest in this requirement may keep this effort from moving forward competitively.   
This announcement shall not be construed as a commitment or authorization to incur costs in anticipation of an award.    The Government is not bound to make any awards under this Notice.
If you are interested in this project, please provide the information requested above to the DESC Contracting Office.
Installation Description
West Point is located on the west bank of the Hudson River, approximately 50 miles north of New York City and 15 miles south of Newburgh.    In addition to being a college campus with academic, social and athletic activities, West Point is a military installation and a National Historical Landmark, as well as a national tourist attraction with over 3 million tourists annually.
The Major Command is the United States Military Academy.    Today the Corps of Cadets numbers almost 4,000 men and women from every state in the Union as well as several foreign countries and U.S. territories.   
West Point is currently undergoing an extensive Revitalization Program that will greatly improve the quality of cadet life.    West Point gives the impression of being geographically isolated because of the river and mountains that must be crossed to reach communities and services other than those found in the Town of Highlands.
As the oldest continually occupied post in our country's history, West Point is home for approximately 1,400 military personnel.    Most military personnel are members of the Academy's staff and faculty and assigned to the 1st Battalion of the 1st Infantry.
