## Description

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) intends to award a sole source Firm Fixed Price contract for an organizational membership with the National Hydropower Association Inc. (NHA). Because NHA is the sole national association dedicated exclusively to representing the interests of the U.S. hydropower industry, they are the only entity that can provide these specific regulatory, technical, and networking resources.

USACE requires an agency/organizational membership to the National Hydropower Association (NHA) to support its mission as the largest operator of hydroelectric power plants in the United States. National Hydropower Association is dedicated exclusively to preserving and expanding clean, renewable, affordable hydropower and marine energy.

**Period of Performance:** One year. A solicitation will not be posted. However, any firm that believes it can meet this requirement may give written notification to the Contracting Officer by 21 September 2026. Supporting evidence must be in sufficient detail to demonstrate the ability to comply with the requirement. Responses received will be evaluated. However, a determination by the Government to compete the proposed procurement based on the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. If no responses are received, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will proceed with awarding a Firm Fixed contract to the National Hydropower Association Inc.
