About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - Fort Worth District is seeking to construct a Central Energy Plant (CEP) at Fort Cavazos, Texas, to replace existing air-cooled chillers and supply chilled water to 24 buildings. The project involves building a facility to house cooling towers, chillers, pumps, and controls, along with associated piping, utilities, and supporting infrastructure. Key contract requirements include implementing fire protection systems, Energy Monitoring and Control System (EMCS), sustainability measures, and cybersecurity features, with special considerations for expansive soil foundations. The evaluation will utilize a best value trade-off process under FAR 15, with no prior government experience required, but mandatory compliance with USACE Safety Manual EM 385-1-1 and all applicable regulations. Responses to the Sources Sought Notice are due by March 19, 2025, with a 5-page response limit, and the anticipated solicitation release is scheduled for October 2025.
The contract is not set aside for any specific small business category, though all small business types (8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB) are encouraged to respond. The project falls under NAICS code 236220 with a small business size standard of $45 million, and the estimated construction budget ranges from $25-100 million. The contract will be a competitive firm-fixed-price Design-Bid-Build contract with a projected 365-day project duration. Proposals are expected to be due in April 2026, offering potential contractors a substantial opportunity to participate in a significant infrastructure development project for the Department of the Army. The comprehensive scope includes constructing the CEP building, associated utilities, security lighting, paving, storm drainage, and landscaping, presenting a complex and potentially lucrative contract opportunity for qualified contractors.
