Quick Summary
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, with Native Energy & Technology, Incorporated for preventive maintenance and repair services in the southeast region, including the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. This action is justified under FAR 6.103-1 and 41 USC 3304(a)(1). An award is anticipated by May 1, 2026, with a period of performance through March 31, 2029.
Scope of Work
This requirement covers essential preventive maintenance and repair services for facilities and equipment at CBP locations across the Southeast United States, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands. These services are critical for supporting CBP operations in the region.
Contract & Timeline
- Type: Sole Source (Justification)
- Intended Contractor: Native Energy & Technology, Incorporated
- Authority: FAR 6.103-1 and 41 USC 3304(a)(1)
- Product/Service Code: J041 (Maintenance, Repair And Rebuilding Of Equipment: Refrigeration, Air Conditioning, And Air Circulating Equipment)
- Period of Performance: Date of award through March 31, 2029
- Anticipated Award Date: No later than May 1, 2026
- Published Date: March 23, 2026
- Set-Aside: None (Sole Source)
Justification & Rationale
Market research identified Native Energy & Technology, Incorporated as the only responsible source with relevant experience in Puerto Rico and other similar remote areas. A new contractor would face significant challenges, including time-consuming and costly physical validation of equipment, and logistical difficulties requiring government assistance with escorts for unadjudicated personnel, which would disrupt critical operations.
Future Plans
CBP plans to conduct further market research and post a Request for Information (RFI) in Fall 2027 on SAM.gov for a follow-on Southeast Regional preventative maintenance and repair contract, with an anticipated competitive award date in 2029.
Additional Notes
This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals, and no solicitation package will be issued. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate directly with Native Energy & Technology, Incorporated.
