Electric Power Generation

NAICS Code 22111 (Electric Power Generation) encompasses a broad range of electricity production activities, focusing on generating electrical power through various methods and technologies. This category includes facilities that produce electricity using fossil fuels, nuclear energy, hydroelectric sources, solar, wind, and other renewable or non-renewable energy sources. The primary function of these entities is to convert different forms of energy into electrical power for transmission and distribution to end-users across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.

The federal contract awards in this category demonstrate significant diversity in electricity generation and utility services. Most awards are delivery orders and purchase orders ranging from approximately $8,500 to $8,744,361, typically with performance periods between six months and five years. Frequently awarded entities include large utility companies such as FirstEnergy, PPL Electric Utilities, Direct Energy Business LLC, Entergy Louisiana, and Atmos Energy Corporation. The Department of Veterans Affairs, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons, and Department of Defense are among the most common funding agencies. Many contracts are not set aside, indicating open competition, with a few opportunities reserved for small businesses or service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses.

Recent federal contract opportunities in this NAICS category primarily focus on specialized electricity generation and related services. Notable solicitations include research projects for wind turbine aerodynamics by the Department of Energy, carbon pollution-free electricity procurement by the Defense Logistics Agency, solar panel and generator maintenance services for various federal facilities, and prime power generation for military installations. Performance locations span multiple states, including Wyoming, South Carolina, Hawaii, and international locations like Honduras. The opportunities demonstrate a growing emphasis on renewable energy technologies, energy efficiency, and supporting critical infrastructure across federal agencies.
