About this opportunity
The Air Force Energy Assurance Office is conducting market research for the creation of the Defense Energy Consortium (DECo), a public-private consortium that will work to address the Department of the Air Force's (DAF) energy resilience requirements. The government is seeking information on establishing a Consortium Management Organization (CMO) to manage DECo, which would include small businesses, traditional and non-traditional defense contractors, utilities, financiers, and others. The CMO's responsibilities would include managing prototype projects and sole-source follow-on production contracts under 10 U.S.C. 4022 (Other Transaction Authority), as well as setting up an SEC-regulated fund to finance DECo's activities. The RFI seeks responses by 3:00 PM EDT on September 5, 2024.
This opportunity is not set aside for any specific business size or type. There are no incumbent contractors mentioned, and the potential award value or budget range is not specified. The NAICS code is 541715 - Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences, and the PSC code is AG13 - Energy R&D Services; Energy Supply; Experimental Development.
