Energy Savings Performance Contract - Generation 4

The Department of Energy awarded this Master IDIQ on July 28, 2023, to acquire energy and water conservation services, with ordering authority extending through July 27, 2028. The vehicle carries a $5 billion shared ceiling and operates unrestricted, with no set-aside designations.

Activity remains nascent. A single task order has been awarded to date—a delivery order to The Brewer-Garrett Company for an Energy Savings Performance Contract at Maxwell Air Force Base, placed by the Department of the Air Force Defense Finance and Accounting Service on September 29, 2025. That order carries a $144 million potential value with a performance period extending to March 25, 2049, and has obligated $12.2 million to date. The structure reflects the statutory framework under 42 U.S.C. § 8287, which allows Energy Services Companies to arrange financing for comprehensive energy audits, conservation measures, renewable energy installations, and utility-cost reductions at federally owned facilities. Individual task-order performance periods extend far beyond the vehicle's ordering horizon, consistent with ESPC contracts that may run 20+ years post-award.

The vehicle supersedes Generation 3 (ordering period expired April 26, 2022, with 21 ESCOs in the pool). Generation 1 and Generation 2 remain in administration for legacy task orders despite their ordering periods closing in 2010 and December 2019, respectively.

Competition structure and concentration data are limited by the single award to date. The Brewer-Garrett Company holds 100 percent of current task-order volume and potential value, funding Air Force energy conservation work exclusively. With two years and one week of ordering authority remaining and only one year of observed activity since inception, pipeline momentum is not yet discernible from the portfolio alone. The $5 billion shared ceiling provides substantial headroom relative to the $144 million obligated across the single award, suggesting substantial capacity for additional task orders under the vehicle's remaining ordering window.

The purpose of this ESPC IDIQ contract is to acquire energy and water conservation services, reduce energy or water consumption and associated utility costs, and reduce energy and water-related operations and maintenance (O&M) costs, as specified in each associated Task Order.
