2025 Italy-wide Electricity Service at DOD Installations

The Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command is soliciting proposals for comprehensive electrical power services across U.S. military installations throughout Italy, seeking a single supplier to provide continuous, non-interruptible electrical power to 33 delivery points spanning three regions: Friuli (Aviano Air Force Base), Campania/Lazio, and Sicily. The procurement covers an estimated total annual consumption of 155,318 megawatt-hours and requires offerors to be registered in the System for Award Management, listed in the Italian "Elenco Venditori Energia Elettrica" vendor registry, and demonstrate experience supplying multi-site customers through bank references and market experience documentation. The government will evaluate proposals using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable methodology, assessing five technical factors including cover letter documentation, completed Form D proving market experience, bank letters of reference, sample invoices, and energy vendor qualifications. Pre-proposal inquiries were due June 13, 2025, at 16:00 CEST, with final proposals due July 3, 2025, at 10:00 AM CEST, and an estimated award date of July 31, 2025.

This solicitation does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to full and open competition among qualified electrical power suppliers. The contract encompasses a 12-month base period from September 1, 2025, to August 31, 2026, with a 12-month option period extending through August 31, 2027, creating a potential 24-month total contract duration valued at approximately EUR 38.5 million over two years. The electrical services will be delivered through the local distributor e-distribuzione across medium voltage and low voltage systems, with maximum available power ranging from 1 kW to 13,000 kW at various military installations, transmitter sites, warehouses, housing facilities, and administrative buildings. Performance will occur entirely within Italy, with specific bank guarantee requirements ranging from EUR 155,000 to EUR 170,000 depending on the geographical region, and pricing structures based on monthly arithmetic average electricity prices from the Italian electricity market operator Gestore Mercato Elettrico.
