About this opportunity

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Louisville District has issued a Special Notice for an Industry Day related to a microgrid system construction project at Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM). The project involves developing a microgrid powered by two Natural Gas Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (RICE) generators totaling approximately 6 MW, a 6 MWAC/6 MWh Energy Storage System (ESS), and a 150 kW solar array. This sole source requirement is designated for City Light & Power (CLP) and will support critical mission operations, specifically providing continuous power to the I Corps, Garrison, and Directorate of Emergency Systems Headquarters. The microgrid is designed to maintain electrical distribution during utility grid outages for a minimum of 14 days. The project will be located just outside the historic district at JBLM, with careful consideration of National Historic Preservation Act compliance.

The Industry Day is scheduled for Wednesday, January 15th, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. PST, with both physical and virtual attendance options available. Vendors interested in participating must register by Tuesday, January 7th, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time by emailing Kari Rogers with specific registration details including company name, Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), number of attendees, and individual names. The project will support approximately 5 MW of load, covering 20% of critical missions at JBLM and 100% of I Corps, Garrison, and DES headquarters critical facilities. Contractors should note that the system is not designed for peak shaving or demand reduction, and the project falls under the NAICS Classification Code 237130 for Power and Communication Line and Related Structures Construction. Following the Industry Day, the SAM.gov posting will be updated to include the presentation materials, providing additional context and details for potential contractors.

NAICS CLASSIFICATION CODES: 237130 – Power and Communication Line and Related Structures Construction.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Louisville District has a Sole Source requirement to City Light & Power (CLP) for the Construct a microgrid system at Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) powered by two (2) Natural Gas (NG) Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (RICE) generators totaling approximately 6 MW, an approximately 6 MWAC/6 MWh Energy Storage System (ESS) and an approximately 150 kW solar array. This microgrid, provides continuous power to the I Corps, Garrison and Directorate of Emergency Systems Headquarters (I Corps/DES/ HQs) electrical distribution system when islanded from the grid to support JBLMs readiness operations during an electric utility grid outage for a minimum of 14 days. The RICE generators, ESS, microgrid controls and automatic switching, will be located just outside the historic district.  The solar array will be located behind buildings 2103 and 5183. In addition to the generating equipment, the system will consist of automated isolating switchgear to form the microgrid system, and a paralleling switchgear for the generators and other controls. This project will support approximately 5 MW of load via 6 MW of generation. This is approximately 20% of critical missions at JBLM and 100% of I Corps, Garrison and DES headquarters critical facilities. The I Corps/DES/HQs area is designated as an historic district and any construction must comply with the National Historic Preservation Act. The system is not designed to be used for peak shaving or demand reduction.
