The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded a purchase order to Enterprise Electric to design and install a hybrid battery energy storage and backup power system at Point Adams Research Station in Hammond, Oregon, with a ceiling value of $397,500 and an award date of September 30, 2026.
The order is set aside for small businesses under NAICS code 238210. Work is performed at Point Adams Research Station in Hammond and Warrenton, Oregon, and must complete by May 8, 2027. The base scope consolidates two existing 200-amp utility services into a single 400-amp service, installs a hybrid inverter and 72-hour battery energy storage system for critical loads including research freezers, IT server room, security, fire alarm, and life safety lighting, and integrates a Microgrid Interconnection Device for grid isolation and automatic islanding. The system design requires 250 kWh usable battery capacity with provisions for reduced capacity if smart load-shedding is installed. An optional line provides a 20 kilowatt ground-mounted solar photovoltaic array. All work must comply with Oregon Electrical Specialty Code, NFPA 70, NFPA 855, UL 1741/9540, IEEE 1547/929, and Pacific Power utility standards. Deliverables include testing reports, as-built AutoCAD drawings, operation and maintenance manuals with harmonic distortion analysis, and warranty documentation (one-year workmanship; five years on inverters, chargers, and battery packs). The procurement originated from solicitation 1305M326Q0423, posted August 10, 2026, with proposals due August 26, 2026.
