JBSA is comprised of Lackland AFB and Training Annex, Randolph AFB, Fort Sam Houston, Camp Bullis, Seguin Auxiliary Field, Canyon Lake Recreation Center Area, and Hondo Auxiliary Field.

Pre-Solicitation Conference The Government will be hosting a Pre-Solicitation Conference on Tuesday, January 26, 2010 from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in San Antonio, Texas. The conference will be conducted before a Request for Proposals (RFP) is issued. The main objective is to bring together potential Utility Privatization (UP) offerors, contracting specialists, and government program managers, to gain valuable insight and seek inputs from industry on how the government can best solicit the utility systems for privatization at JBSA. Additionally, the Government seeks to gain market information about the utility industry in the San Antonio area and generate as much competition and interest among potential offerors as possible.

Should interest be determined sufficient, a formal solicitation may be forthcoming. Interested parties should provide a statement of interest on company letterhead no later than 3:00 pm EST on Friday, February 5, 2010.

If determined appropriate, then both a synopsis and a solicitation may be anticipated in the April 2010 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.
