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 multiple locations in the UGP and RMR regions. The contract specifically targets construction and maintenance of power and communication line infrastructure, with an initial seed project involving the VT Hanlon Substation Stage 02 project. While specific evaluation criteria are not fully detailed in the pre-solicitation notice, contractors will likely be assessed on their technical capabilities, experience with power infrastructure maintenance, and ability to perform work across varied geographical locations. The solicitation was posted on May 22, 2025, with responses due by July 10, 2025, indicating a relatively tight timeline for potential bidders to prepare and submit their proposals. Interested contractors 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.

The contract is designated as a total small business set-aside, which means only small businesses can compete for this opportunity. The NAICS code 237130 suggests that contractors must specialize in power and communication line construction and have demonstrated capabilities in complex infrastructure maintenance projects. While specific award values are not disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, IDIQ contracts typically allow for multiple task orders with flexible funding and duration. The contract appears to cover facility maintenance and repair services, potentially involving significant infrastructure work across the Western Area Power Administration's service regions. Contractors should be prepared to demonstrate technical expertise, safety compliance, and the ability to mobilize resources quickly for various potential project sites.
