Energy Savings Performance Contract II (ESPC II)

The Energy Savings Performance Contract II (ESPC II) is a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineering Support Center Huntsville. The contract enables federal agencies to implement comprehensive energy conservation and infrastructure modernization projects through performance-based contracting. Under this vehicle, Energy Services Contractors (ESCOs) conduct detailed energy audits, design and implement energy efficiency improvements, and guarantee that the resulting cost savings will cover the project expenses over the contract's performance period.

The task orders under this IDIQ primarily focus on energy infrastructure upgrades across various federal facilities, including military installations, research centers, and government campuses. Typical task orders range from $3 million to $113 million, with performance periods extending up to 20 years. Frequent prime contractors include Siemens Government Technologies, Johnson Controls Government Systems, Honeywell International, AECOM USA, and Noresco. The projects commonly involve renewable energy systems, HVAC improvements, lighting retrofits, utility monitoring and control systems, and steam/water distribution upgrades. Geographically, task orders have been awarded for locations in states such as California, New Mexico, Hawaii, Illinois, and Virginia, with no specific set-aside designations used. The primary funding agency is the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, though the contract supports energy efficiency projects across multiple federal departments.
