About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document for a Department of Army/U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (DA/USACE) Request for Proposals (RFP) regarding commercial power generation facilities on Army installations. The solicitation (DACA27-9-26-0042200) seeks competitive proposals from private, public, and/or not-for-profit entities interested in leasing non-excess Government-owned land at seven Army installations for long-term lease agreements. The EUL (Easement and Use License) resulting from this RFP would enable the selected offeror(s) to design, finance, permit, develop, construct, install, own, maintain, operate, secure, and decommission a commercial power generation facility. Acceptable power generation technologies include natural gas, geothermal, nuclear, or solar, with nuclear energy proposals limited to 500 megawatts (MW) per unit.
The original proposal deadline was June 29, 2026; however, Amendment No. 1 extended the receipt of proposals to 12:00 P.M. (EDT) on August 10, 2026. The RFP specifies proposal components and evaluation factors in Sections 6 and 7. Site visits are not contemplated as part of the RFP process at this time, and any changes to deadlines or RFP requirements would be posted to the solicitation page. Offerors should access the most current RFP guidance by searching the solicitation number on sam.gov. The Government is not considering leasing land from private, public, or not-for-profit entities; only proposals for leasing Government-owned Army installations will be evaluated.

General Questions
Q.1. The solicitation indicates that three installation site visits will be conducted. Could you please confirm the dates, times, and locations for each site visit, as well as any registration or access requirements for attendees?
A.1. The reference to three Installation site visits was an unintentional oversight and has been removed from the RFP.
Q.2. There is an available decommissioned power plant on private land that can generate the required power found in the RFP.
A.2. The purpose of this solicitation is to request competitive proposals from private, public, and/or not-for-profit entities interested in leasing non-excess Government-owned land. The RFP lists seven Army Installations that are included as possible locations for long-term lease agreement(s). The Government leasing land from private, public, and/or not-for-profit entities is not considered in this solicitation.
Q.3. My firm is very interested in considering this DA/USACE opportunity. However, the timeline for submissions of proposals is very short. Was there opportunities for meeting/coordination on this solicitation that are not included in the SAM announcement?
A.3. Section 1.f. of the RFP reserves the right for DA to extend any deadline set forth in the RFP. Please see Amendment No. 1 to the RFP that extends the receipt of proposals to 12:00 P.M. (EDT), on August 10, 2026.
Q.4. Would it be possible to have an additional 30-40 days to develop and submit a response? Our company is very capable in this area and we'd like to compete if we have time to prepare a response.
A.4. See Q.3. and A.3. above.
Q.5. Notably, the solicitation text refers to the RFP, which has been deleted from the sam.gov solicitation page and is unavailable on the site. Will the RFP guidance for the opportunity be posted separately?
A.5. Using the search function on sam.gov and searching DACA27-9-26-0042200 will bring you to the most recent launch page with updated information.
Q.6. Will the deadline for responses be extended given the absence of the RFP from the solicitation?
A.6. See Q.3. and A.3. above.
Q.7. Due to the complex nature of the RFP, we request an extension of 2 months. A site visit to each site will be essential and informative to formulate the RFP responses well and the extension is requested bearing the site visits in mind.
A.7. Site visits are not contemplated as part of the RFP at this juncture; any change would be posted to the solicitation and/or the RFP. Please see Q.3. and A.3. related to an extension.
Q.8. Three site visits appear to be planned in the RFP. Please provide further details on the visits. Furthermore, each site may be unique, and each site may warrant a site visit rather than the chosen three sites.
A.8. Please see Q.1. and A.1. above.
Q.9. Are there other projects being considered or in progress via EUL or other procurement mechanisms at each of the seven sites that may be potential off takers? For example, data centers being considered on federal land at each site and in need of electric power generation.
A.9. Please see Section 1.a. of the RFP. The EUL(s) that would result from this RFP would be for the purpose of the selected Offeror(s) designing, financing, permitting, developing, constructing, installing, owning, maintaining, operating, securing, and decommissioning a commercial power generation facility (“Project”). Such power generation could include natural gas, geothermal, nuclear, or solar. Proposals for nuclear energy cannot exceed 500 megawatts (MW) per unit.
Q.10. I represent a client that is interested in submitting a proposal in response to the above referenced RFP. Kindly let us know if there are instructions for offerors detailing the contents of what the Army requires for the proposals that are due on June 29, 2026. In particular, are there page limits, specific evaluation factors that need to be addressed, or other material requirements that you require? The information available on SAM.gov only provides an overview description of what you are seeking.
A.10. Please see Sections 6 & 7 of the RFP for proposal components and factors for evaluation and evaluation of proposals.
