Construction Facility Maintenance and Repair IDIQ

The Department of Energy's Western Area Power Administration is seeking a small business contractor for an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract focused on facility maintenance and repair across UGP and RMR regions. The initial seed project involves work at the Letcher Substation, Stage 03, with a primary emphasis on power and communication line infrastructure construction. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the pre-solicitation notice, contractors will likely be assessed on their technical capability, past performance in similar infrastructure maintenance projects, and ability to execute work across multiple locations. The opportunity was posted on May 19, 2025, with responses due by July 9, 2025, providing potential bidders approximately 51 days to prepare and submit their proposals. Interested firms should carefully review the NAICS category 237130 for Power and Communication Line and Related Structures Construction to ensure alignment with the contract's technical requirements.

This contract is specifically set aside for small businesses, limiting competition to smaller enterprises within the power infrastructure maintenance sector. The contract appears to be structured as an IDIQ, which suggests multiple task orders may be issued over the contract's duration, providing flexibility for the Western Area Power Administration's maintenance needs. While precise award values are not specified in the pre-solicitation notice, IDIQ contracts typically range from several hundred thousand to multiple million dollars depending on actual task order requirements. The contract's Product Service Code (PSC) of Y1PZ indicates it is classified under "Construction of Other Non-Building Facilities," which aligns with the power infrastructure focus. Contractors should be prepared to demonstrate capabilities in substation maintenance, power line repair, and related electrical infrastructure work, with the Letcher Substation project serving as an initial reference point for potential future task orders.
