This is a Request for Proposals (RFP) for coal-based power supply services issued by DLA Energy for Department of War installations in Illinois.

The Government seeks a 24-month firm-fixed-price requirements contract for retail electricity supply and transmission generated exclusively by coal-fired production facilities (CFPFs), commencing on the meter read date in May 2027 and ending in May 2029. Three Contract Line Items (CLINs) are included: CLIN 0001 for U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (3 accounts, 8,157,226 kWh estimated); CLIN 0002 for Scott Air Force Base (4 accounts, 204,711,624 kWh estimated); and CLIN 0003 for Illinois Air National Guard (4 accounts, 8,762,890 kWh estimated). The total estimated contract value is marked as "TBD." The contract covers retail supply costs to specified service points under Ameren Electric Utility Company in the MISO region and Illinois Commerce Commission jurisdiction, with capacity charges passed through separately. Contractors must submit unit prices in $/kWh and may bid on all, some, or none of the CLINs. The offer due date is May 1, 2026, at 3:00 PM Eastern Time. This solicitation incorporates Executive Order 14386, which directs Department of War to procure power from CFPFs to enhance grid reliability and national security. Contractors must submit annual compliance reports and attestation forms verifying that 100 percent of supplied electricity originates from CFPFs during each 12-month compliance period. Evaluation criteria include past performance (most important), technical capability/risk, small business participation, and price, weighted approximately equally when non-price factors are combined. The solicitation is unrestricted and includes small business set-aside provisions.

Attachment JA6, Proposal Requirements & Reps/Certs, defines all proposal requirements for submittal in addition to those defined in FAR 52.212-1, below.

L.2. FAR 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors—Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Deviation 2026-O00038 JAN 2026) [TAILORED]

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers and any modifications or revisions to the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation.

(2) Any offer, modification, or revision received after the time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made and the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition. However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer that makes its terms more favorable to the Government will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office

Coal-Based Power Supply RFP SPE604-26-R-0400 designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(4) Offerors may withdraw their offers by written notice to the Government received at any time before award.

(d) Contract award. The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with Offerors. Therefore, the Offeror’s initial offer should contain the Offeror’s best terms. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions, if necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest, accept other than the lowest offer, and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(e) Debriefings. If a postaward debriefing is given to requesting Offerors, the Government will disclose the following information, if applicable:

(1) The agency’s evaluation of the significant weak or deficient factors in the debriefed Offeror’s offer.

(2) The overall evaluated cost or price and technical rating of the successful Offeror and the debriefed Offeror and past performance information on the debriefed Offeror.

(3) The overall ranking of all Offerors when any ranking was developed by the agency during source selection.

(4) A summary of the rationale for award.

(5) For acquisitions of commercial products, the make and model of the product to be delivered by the successful Offeror.

Contractor Name”. OFFERORS REQUESTING INFORMATION REGARDING

THIS SOLICITATION SHALL CONTACT THE E-MAIL ADDRESS ONLY.

CONTACTS TO OTHER GOVERNMENT PERSONNEL OR

NONGOVERNMENT ADVISORS ARE PROHIBITED. All questions shall be answered electronically. Questions shall be entertained up to 14 calendar days prior to solicitation closing date. No additional questions shall be answered.

Section M – Evaluation factors for award

M.1 FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation—Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Deviation 2026-O00038 JAN 2026)

(a) Evaluation factors. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be mailto:DLAEnergyResilience@dla.mil most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors will be used to evaluate offers:

(i) PAST PERFORMANCE. Offerors must submit three past performance references which the Government will evaluate for recency and relevancy in order to determine the Government’s level of confidence in each offeror’s ability to meet solicitation requirements. This evaluation will include any aspect of past performance that is relevant to the work to be performed under this contract. Recency is defined as performance on Government or commercial contracts where there has been at least 12 continuous months of performance within the last two years as of the closing date of the solicitation. Each offeror will be assessed on recent efforts accomplished by the offeror, focusing on performance that is relevant to the contract requirements. Relevancy is defined as a present/past performance effort involving similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

The Government will utilize the submissions provided by the Offeror on Attachment II – Proposal Requirements. If there are past performance documents on file that have been determined to be Recent and Relevant, the Government reserves the right to include these documents as part of the past performance evaluation process. In addition, the Government may use any data the Contracting Officer determines recent and relevant. This includes, but is not limited to, information from:

1. Contract Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS)

2. Past Performance Questionnaires

3. Customer Feedback

4. Offeror’s Past Performance on DLA Energy Contracts

5. Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS)

6. General Services Administration

This past performance information will be reviewed to determine the quality of the offeror’s performance, general trends, and usefulness of the information. The Government’s level of confidence in each offeror’s ability to meet solicitation requirements will be based on the offeror’s overall record of recency, relevancy, and quality of performance.

Offerors are advised that the Government may use information gained from any source to evaluate past performance and reserves the right to only consider the Contractor’s performance under Federal Government or DLA Energy contracts. In the case of an offeror for whom information regarding the quality of past performance is not available, the offeror will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance pursuant to FAR 15.202(c)(1).

(ii) TECHNICAL CAPABILITY / RISK. The Government will use a combined technical capability/risk rating to assess the offeror’s proposed approach to satisfying the Government’s requirements. The offeror shall be evaluated on whether their Technical Capability/Risk Proposal (as defined in Attachment Proposal Requirements & Reps/Certs) clearly and precisely describes its approach and demonstrates an understanding of the requirement and its ability to successfully perform the requirements of the Schedule of Supplies.

The Government’s evaluation will focus on any significant weaknesses and/or deficiencies associated with an offeror’s proposed approach by analyzing the potential for disruption of schedule, increased cost or degradation of performance, the possible need for increased Government oversight, and the likelihood of unsuccessful contract performance.

(iii) SMALL BUSINESS PARTICIPATION. The Small Business Participation factor will be evaluated based on the information submitted by offerors regarding whether their proposals demonstrate a commitment to small businesses. Offerors will also be evaluated on their history in complying with requirements of the clauses at FAR 52.219-8, Utilization of Small Business Concerns, and FAR 52.219-9, Small Business Subcontracting Plan approved by DLA Energy.

(iv) PRICE. Price evaluations will be conducted by comparing each proposed price received in response to the solicitation. Each offeror’s price, in conjunction with the non-price related factors (Past Performance, Technical Capability/Risk, and Small Business Participation), will be the basis for the Government’s overall best value award decision. Each offered price will be evaluated to determine if it is fair and reasonable in accordance with Far Part 15, to include evaluating price reasonableness.

(v) RELATIVE WEIGHTING OF EVALUATION FACTORS. Past Performance is the most important non-price evaluation factor and Small Business Participation is the least important non-price evaluation factor. Technical Capability/Risk is not as important as Past Performance, but is significantly more important than Small Business Participation. When combined, all three of these non-price evaluation factors are weighted approximately equal to Price. If two offers are equal in merit, lowest price will be the determining factor.

(b) RESERVED.

(c) Notice of award. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer furnished to the successful Offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
