Wolf Creek Liquid Oxygen (Interim) KO Determination

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Nashville District requires an urgent, short‑term supply of liquid oxygen (LOX) for Wolf Creek Dam in Jamestown, Kentucky. The existing contract ran out early, and no LOX has been delivered since September 1 2026, threatening water quality, hydroelectric generation, and grid reliability. To bridge the gap, the Corps will sole‑source a contractor to provide enough LOX for an interim three‑week period while a revised full‑competition solicitation is prepared. The contract will be firm‑fixed‑price and valued below the simplified acquisition threshold. • Location: Wolf Creek Dam, Jamestown, KY • Requirement: Variable daily LOX delivery, 300–3,000 SCFM (≈3‑week total) • Contract type: Sole‑source, firm‑fixed‑price, below $20 K • Award date: 18 Sep 2026 (award already made) • Duration: 3 weeks • Funding: FY26 Civil Works, Operations & Maintenance, Army (OMA) • Primary contact: Bridget L. Passatore, Contracting Officer
