About this file
This is a Request for Proposal (RFP) solicitation document from DLA Energy seeking electricity supply and ancillary services for Department of Defense installations and Federal civilian facilities in Illinois within the MISO market area. The solicitation number is SPE60425R0400 and it requires delivery of an estimated 242,026,326 kWh over a 24-month period from May 2025 through May 2027 across four contract line items.
The RFP will result in a Firm-Fixed Price Requirements Type contract utilizing full and open competition. Non-price proposals are due February 27, 2025 at 3:00 PM, with pricing to be submitted later via reverse auction. Key requirements include supplying retail electricity to four locations: US Army Corps of Engineers (8,157,226 kWh), Scott Air Force Base (204,711,624 kWh), US Department of Agriculture (20,394,586 kWh), and Air National Guard (8,762,890 kWh). Offerors must be on Illinois' approved list of Retail Electric Providers and registered in SAM. Evaluation factors include past performance (most important non-price factor), technical capability/risk, small business participation (least important non-price factor), and price, with all non-price factors combined weighted approximately equal to price. One account at Scott AFB anticipates a 500,000 kWh monthly usage increase starting December 2025 due to a $140 million construction project.

SECTION A – STANDARD FORM (SF) 1449 ON PAGE 1
SECTION B – CONTINUATION BLOCK OF SF 1449
Questions regarding this solicitation must be submitted in writing via email to dlaenergy.eteam@dla.mil no later than 14 February 2025. The Government may not provide answers prior to the date and time provided on SF 1449, block 8.
CONTINUATION OF SF 1449, BLOCK 8 OFFER DUE DATE
This date refers to only to the non-price proposal requirements of this Request for Proposal (RFP).
Offerors shall submit all Non-Price Proposal elements and all other required documents pursuant to Section L of this RFP. Offerors are encouraged to submit their proposals early as pricing is not required prior to the date/time defined in SF 1449, Block 8.
Prices shall be submitted via a reverse auction on a date and time to be determined. The reverse auction shall be conducted in accordance with DLAD Note L09 REVERSE AUCTION (OCT 2016).
Prospective offerors are encouraged to review Federal Acquisition Regulation 15.208 regarding timely submission of offers. Specifically, please be aware that it is the offeror’s responsibility to ensure that their offer is actually received at the designated Government office prior to the solicitation closing. Submission of offers by electronic commerce (e.g. e-mail or fax) is governed by FAR 15.208(b)(1)(i). If an offeror electronically submits its offer on the day the solicitation closes, then timeliness will be determined based on whether or not the offer was actually received prior to closing. In that situation, the offeror will bear the risk of any delay in the transmission of their offer (e.g. offeror clicked “send” prior to the closing of the solicitation, but the e-mail did not arrive until after the time for closing), and offers not actually received prior to closing will be late. However, pursuant to FAR 15.208(b)(1)(i), if an offeror utilizes a means of electronic commerce to send their offer and transmits it not later than 5:00 p.m. ONE DAY PRIOR to the time for closing (and can prove that they have done so), then the offeror will be protected from such unexpected transmission delays and its offer will be considered timely.
* E-mails being sent to DLA Energy by non-DoD entities during the weekdays from 0800 to 1700 may be delayed up to several hours. To minimize potential issues as a result of any e-mail delays, DLA Energy requests that any correspondence from Non-DoD Entities allow at least 24 hours to be received.
A date for the submission of prices will be established via an amendment to be issued after the Offer Due Date.
The Government reserves the right not to consider any exceptions to the stated solicitation requirements received after the Offer Due Date.

NOTE 1: The Government anticipates that account 22493377933 22493-37933 will experience a 500,000kWh per month increase of usage starting December 2025, due to the scheduled completion of a $140 million Military Construction (MILCON) project.
C800 STATEMENT OF WORK/SPECIFICATIONS (ELECTRICITY) (DLA ENERGY JAN 2012)
(a) STATEMENT OF WORK. The Contractor shall supply electricity, and any ancillary services required to deliver electricity to the point of delivery and for the scheduling and coordination of the delivery of electricity to the service point for each account under the contract. All quantities ordered by the Government shall be considered firm and guaranteed for delivery by the Contractor to the delivery point, and for scheduling and coordinating, for ultimate delivery to the service point for each account.
Charges incurred as a result of the Contractor's failure to abide by the terms of the applicable Retail Access rules and/or the UDC Service Agreement shall be the responsibility of the Contractor. With the exception of any and all transmission and distribution related charges payable by the Government to the UDC under the applicable tariff for each account (unless said charges are the result of the Contractor's failure to perform in accordance with the contract), the Contractor is responsible for all costs associated with deliveries to the delivery point and the scheduling and coordination for delivery of electricity to the service point for each account under the contract. The Contractor shall be liable for any and all penalties and/or additional costs assessed to the Government for the nondelivery of the firm requirements in accordance with paragraphs (f) and (m) of the CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS – COMMERCIAL ITEMS clause.
(b) INVOICE AND PAYMENT. FAR 52.212-4 (g) is incorporated by reference as it is a mandatory commercial clause. However, although the purchase of electricity is entirely commercial, the billing of electricity does not squarely fall into the reasonable requirements the Government mandates for other commercial products to be invoiced. Under the authority of FAR 52.215-8 Order of Precedence, the Government’s explicit invoice and payment instructions in C800 supersedes FAR 52.212-4(g).
The Government will utilize/allow Supplier Consolidated Billing for CLIN 0001. The contractor must submit all invoice information to the appropriate UDC under the terms of the applicable Retail Access Rule, in accordance with terms of its UDC Service Agreement. All invoicing shall be based on metered quantities at the service point for each account. The contractor may only invoice for charges
SPE60425R0400 A0002 Page 5 allowed under the terms and conditions of the contract. Any costs associated with Consolidated UDC Billing shall be the responsibility of the Contractor and shall be included as part of the offered price.
The Government will utilize/allow Dual Billing for CLINs 0002, 0003, and 0004. All invoicing shall be based on meter quantities at the service point for each account. The Contractor may only invoice for charges allowed under the terms and conditions of the contract. Any costs associated with billing shall be the responsibility of the Contractor and shall be included as part of the offered price. Each invoice shall be prepared in a manner consistent with and shall conform to the applicable PUC requirements for Dual Billing. In addition to the requirements set forth in FAR 52.212-4 CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS – COMMERCIAL ITEMS Paragraph (g), each contractor invoice shall include the following information for Dual Billed accounts, if available from the UDC:
(1) Installation name, Line Item, and individual account information (Account Number, Meter Number, and Service Address).
(2) Supplier’s information such as logo, address, point of contact (name and phone number), Diand wiring information.
(3) Billing period for each account.
(4) Total consumption for each account (broken down by Peak, Off-Peak, Semi-Peak, if available).
(5) Total Energy Charge (broken down by energy charges and demand charges, if available).
(6) Demand information for each account (broken down by Peak, Off-Peak, Semi-Peak, if available).
(7) Charges for services broken out in detail for each account in a manner consistent with the terms and conditions of the contract and the applicable PUC requirements.
(8) All information required by the applicable PUC to be included on customer invoice.
(9) If customer questions information on an invoice, supporting documentation is required before payment will be made.
(10) If a supplier is unable to issue a bill based on actual meter reading due to the failure of the transmission and distribution utility, municipally owned utility or electric cooperative to obtain or transmit a meter reading to the supplier, the supplier may issue a bill based on an estimated reading for the affected account. The supplier must inform the customer of the reason for the issuance of the estimated bill, and the Government reserves the right to obtain documentation relating to the efforts taken by the supplier to obtain the meter read data. For estimated billing purposes, the supplier shall use the relevant monthly consumption data (as the estimate) included in the applicable Installation Data Sheet.
All estimated bills shall be trued up on the next billing cycle if the applicable information is received by then.
(11) Supplier coordination with the local utility will be necessary to ensure that these customers receive identical billing data from both the supplier and the local utility (i.e. commodity and wire charges must be based on the utility’s billing cycle).
NOTE: The paying offices for each installation will be provided to awardee(s) in the resultant contract.
NOTE 2: For Scott Air Force Base (SAFB), invoicing will be done through Wide Area Work Flow
(WAWF).
(c) METERING AND METER READING SERVICES. Will be provided by the incumbent UDC for each account.
(d) SCHEDULING AND SUPPLY MANAGEMENT. It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to schedule deliveries for all accounts awarded for the time period specified herein. The Contractor shall be responsible for supply management and overall coordination of production, transmission, and distribution of electrical power to the service point of each account identified in the contract. As such, the Contractor shall be knowledgeable of and responsible for imbalance policies, transmission grid losses, transmission congestion charges and UDC line losses for the delivery of
SPE60425R0400 A0002 Page 6 electricity to the service point of each account under the contract. The Contractor must meet all applicable State and Federal requirements necessary to successfully complete any contract. The Government will not pay any costs associated with the Contractor's failure to deliver electrical power at the delivery point sufficient to meet the demand at the service point of each account under the contract or to schedule and coordinate for the delivery of electricity to each service point.
(e) RECORD KEEPING. The Contractor shall keep records of data required to bill in accordance with the utility tariff of each account (demand and consumption data) in an electronic database format compatible with Microsoft Access or a spreadsheet format compatible with Microsoft Excel.
These records shall be made available to DLA Energy or to any party designated by DLA Energy as authorized to request this data. In the event that the Contractor maintains records on demand and consumption data in addition to that required to bill in accordance with the utility tariff, said data shall also be made available to DLA Energy or to any party designated by DLA Energy as authorized to request this data. The Contractor shall provide (or make available) to DLA Energy or to any party designated by DLA Energy, interval data (for those accounts with an interval meter) in Microsoft Excel format, on a monthly basis throughout the entire delivery term of any resultant contract.
(f) ORDERING. For the purposes of this contract, the instantaneous load at the service point, as described in the individual Installation Data Sheet, shall constitute an order for electricity to be furnished under this contract.
(g) POINT OF DELIVERY. For this solicitation and any resulting contract, the delivery point for each account is defined as an interconnect with the UDC owned or controlled transmission or distribution system and where applicable, Contractor will schedule to the Residual Aggregate point of delivery.
(h) SERVICE POINT. For this solicitation and any resulting contract, the service point is defined as the meter(s) indicated for each account awarded as described in Attachment I - Installation Data Sheet MISO 2025.
(i) SPECIFICATIONS. The electricity provided under this contract shall conform to the tariff of the transmitting and/or distributing utility at the delivery point(s) specified in the Schedule.
(j) ADDING FUTURE ACCOUNTS. It is possible that additional accounts not included in the solicitation may be added to the resultant contract(s). In that event, the Government will provide the Contractor with the facility’s electric requirement (if available) and the two parties shall enter into good faith negotiations to determine a price. A bilateral modification will be executed adding the line item on the Standard Form 30, Amendment of Solicitation/Modification of Award.

I820 ELECTRICITY REGULATORY CHANGES (DLA ENERGY DECEMBER 2014)
(a) The contract price includes all applicable independent system operator/regional transmission organization (ISO/RTO/PUC) charges expected to be in effect and applicable to this contract at Government price acceptance.
(b) "After-imposed (ISO/RTO/PUC) charges," as used in this contract text, means any new or modified regulatory (ISO/RTO/PUC) charges not in effect or not applicable to transactions under this contract on the date the Government accepts pricing, but which are now in effect or applicable as the result of legislative, judicial, or administrative action, with the result that the Contractor is now required to pay or bear the charges. The contract price shall be increased by the amount of any after-imposed (ISO/RTO/PUC) charge (with no markup), provided the Contractor warrants in writing within 60 calendar days of the regulation change, that no amount for such after-imposed (ISO/RTO/PUC) charge was included in the contract price, as a contingency reserve or otherwise. The contractor shall provide such evidence as the Government may require in support of a request for adjustment resulting from any after-imposed (ISO/RTO/PUC) charge.
(c) "After-relieved (ISO/RTO/PUC) charges," as used in this contract text, means any amount of regulatory (ISO/RTO/PUC) charges that would otherwise have been payable on the transactions or property covered by this contract but which as the result of legislative, judicial or administrative action taking effect after the contract date the Contractor is not required to pay or bear, or for which the Contractor obtains a refund or drawback. The contract price shall be decreased by the amount of any after-relieved (ISO/RTO/PUC) charges.
(d) “Modified” means an unforeseeable change in law (or equivalent regulatory restructure) which occurs after contract award and results in increased regulatory (ISO/RTO/PUC) charges, the effects of which could not have reasonably been anticipated by the contractor prior to award.
(e) The Contractor shall notify the contracting officer of any after-imposed or after-relieved (ISO/RTO/PUC) charge within a commercially acceptable time frame and if seeking a price increase, simultaneously submit a proper claim for equitable adjustment. Price adjustments shall be accomplished via written modification to the contract.
NOTE: PUC is defined as Public Utility Commission.
NOTE 1: PUC covers governmental entities with the authority to impose charges that directly affect this clause. Entities may include DPU or other utility commissions.
