DOE Retail Open Access Electricity

The DOE Retail Open Access Electricity IDIQ (IDIQ-DOE-ROAE) was a master contract vehicle focused on electricity procurement and related services for the Department of Energy (DOE). The contract was designed to provide a flexible mechanism for acquiring electricity services across various DOE facilities and potentially supporting broader energy management objectives. Awarded on September 2, 2009, the vehicle was established to streamline the procurement process for electricity-related needs, enabling rapid task order execution across multiple prime contractors.

While specific task order details are not provided in the available data, IDIQ contracts of this nature typically involve electricity procurement, grid management services, energy optimization consulting, and infrastructure support for federal energy facilities. The contract's last ordering date of March 31, 2014 suggests a approximately five-year period of performance. Such DOE-managed electricity contracts often involve task orders with values ranging from several hundred thousand to multiple million dollars, potentially covering service territories across federal facility locations. Prime contractors for these types of vehicles are frequently large energy services companies, regional utility providers, and specialized energy management firms with demonstrated federal contracting experience and robust electrical infrastructure capabilities.
