We regret to inform you that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Savannah District, will be cancelling the Hartwell Operations and Maintenance (O&M) solicitation W912HN25R5003. This action is being taken pursuant to the authority under Executive Order (EO) 14271, Ensuring Commercial, Cost-Effective Solutions in Federal Contracts, issued 16 April 2025, which requires agencies to procure commercially available products and services, including those that can be modified to fill agencies needs, to the maximum extent practicable. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers implementation guidance was issued 15 June stating, Beginning 15 June 2025, no solicitations or awards for non commercial products or services may be issued without an approved Request for Approval (RFA) Package. This policy will force a change in our business practices for our Savannah District lake projects operations and maintenance services away from firm fixed price contracts with cost plus fixed fee elements, inherently non-commercial due to the cost reimbursement elements, to a firm fixed price contract. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding as we work to ensure compliance with new federal procurement policies. We will be issuing a new firm fixed priced only solicitation in the near future. The purpose of this contract is to provide the maintenance, repair, minor construction, and operation of the Hartwell Project to include the Project Manager?s Office, campgrounds, day-use parks, boating access areas, dams, Power Plant, Clemson Pumping Station, and other project resources as specified in the following technical provisions SEE SAM.GOV SOLICITATION W912HN24R5003 (SOLICITATION HARTWELL O AND M PROJECT)
