    09. Single Source Justification Genscape_Redacted Sam.gov.pdf
    The Western Area Power Administration (WAPA) within the Department of Energy is seeking a single-source contract for Genscape's PowerRT and PowerIQ data and forecasting services for a duration of 12 months, starting October 1, 2024. The justification for limiting competition stems from the unique capabilities of Genscape's products, which are patented and proprietary. The PowerRT service provides critical real-time measurements of power generation, essential for WAPA's market strategy in both Eastern and Western Interconnections. Meanwhile, PowerIQ employs PowerRT data for forecasting flows and pricing, aiding efficient hydropower delivery to customers. The service offers unique analyst access, daily simulations, and market insights, which are vital for WAPA’s Energy Management and Marketing Office operations. Without these specialized services, WAPA risks operational inefficiencies, underscoring the necessity of this contract.
