Puerto Rico Power System Stabilization, Power Generation Services MATOC

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers awarded a multiple-award task-order contract on September 28, 2023, to provide temporary power generation services stabilizing Puerto Rico's electrical system, with a combined ceiling of five billion dollars and ordering authority through September 27, 2028.

The vehicle contracts for land-based temporary generating units, temporary transformers, control cabling, and related operation and maintenance services. The procurement targets 300 to 700 megawatts of dual-fuel (primarily liquefied natural gas) medium-voltage engine-generator sets, with individual generators providing at least 10 megawatts per unit. Contractors must demonstrate capability to deliver and maintain turbine-style generators exceeding 10 megawatts, arrange fuel delivery exceeding two million gallons per month, and procure and install 100 megawatts of generation capacity within 60 days. Task orders specify individual power-generation sites where temporary capacity will supplement PREPA and LUMA Energy infrastructure while permanent generators are installed. Task-order performance periods extend up to 24 months.

The vehicle carries no set-aside designations. Six primes split the six task orders awarded to date — Amentum Services, Inc., Weston Solutions Inc., CDM Constructors Inc., PTSI Managed Services Inc., OMP Solutions, LLC, and one additional firm — each receiving one order. All awards are unrestricted competitive. The Army Corps of Engineers is the sole customer.

The six delivery orders collectively obligate fifteen thousand dollars against the five-billion-dollar ceiling, with each order firm-fixed-priced at twenty-five hundred dollars and scheduled for ultimate completion on September 27, 2028. All awards occurred on September 28 or 29, 2023; no orders have been issued since that initial sprint. The vehicle retains two years and approximately two months of remaining ordering authority, though the minimal obligated value and absence of subsequent ordering activity over nearly three years suggests the vehicle may not be generating active procurement demand despite its substantial authorized ceiling.

Power system stabilization and power generation services, with a focus on temporary emergency power augmentation and related repairs of generation facilities. The work will involve providing and operating land-based temporary generating units, temporary transformers, control cabling, and coordinating with Puerto Rico Electric and Power Authority (PREPA) and LUMA Energy on operation schedules and connections.
