About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole-source contract to Solar Alliance Southeast, LLC for expanding an existing solar panel array at Lake Cumberland. This advance notice indicates the agency will negotiate exclusively with Solar Alliance Southeast under Federal Acquisition Regulation authority for sole-source procurement. The contract falls under NAICS code 238210 for Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors with a size standard of $19.0 million. The work involves adding solar panels, optimizers, combiner panels, wiring, conduit, and system integration to complement Solar Alliance Southeast's original 2022 installation. Questions regarding this announcement must be directed to Bridget Passatore at the provided email address.
The sole-source approach is justified by the need to preserve the active five-year warranty covering the initial solar panel installation completed by Solar Alliance Southeast in 2022. The contract scope includes expanding the existing solar array infrastructure through additional equipment and integration work. Interested parties have until September 27, 2025, to submit any questions or concerns regarding this procurement approach. No competitive bidding process will occur, as the government intends to negotiate only with the incumbent contractor who performed the original installation. The procurement is structured as a firm-fixed price construction contract, eliminating opportunities for other contractors to compete for this expansion work. This approach ensures continuity of warranty coverage and technical compatibility with the existing solar energy system.
