About this opportunity
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center is seeking an Energy Service Company (ESCO) to design and implement a photovoltaic (PV) Energy Conservation Measure at its facility in Greenbelt, Maryland, with the project potentially structured as an Energy Sales Agreement (ESA) to leverage federal investment tax credit incentives. The solicitation is issued as a Notice of Opportunity (NOO) that invites current holders of the Department of Energy's Fourth Generation ESPC Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract to submit expressions of interest for consideration. Key requirements include the ability to meet federal tax incentive deadlines and deliver detailed strategies for tax credit optimization within the expression of interest submission. The government will evaluate responses based on three primary factors: tax incentive and price components (weighted most heavily), past performance, and technical competencies and experience. The deadline for submitting expressions of interest is December 8, 2025, with an earlier deadline of October 14, 2025 at 5:00 PM ET for initial submissions to the identified government contacts.
This procurement uses no set-aside designations and is open only to current IDIQ holders with the Department of Energy. The specific scope includes a primary PV system installation at GSFC Area 100, which encompasses 15 acres, with opportunities to evaluate additional photovoltaic systems during the Investment Grade Audit phase if such analysis does not jeopardize meeting tax incentive deadlines. No award value or budget range is specified in the solicitation notice. The project will proceed directly to the Investment Grade Audit phase, bypassing the preliminary assessment stage, and will include a business case analysis comparing the proposed ESA structure to traditional Energy Conservation Measures at the 50 percent IGA completion milestone. The place of performance is Greenbelt, Maryland, located at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center facility.

Update #2 · Latest ·
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center is interested in pursuing an Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC) project at the Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) located in Greenbelt, Maryland, specifically a photovoltaic (PV) Energy Conservation Measure (ECM) that may be structured as an Energy Sales Agreement (ESA) if the new federal investment tax credit deadlines and all associated requirements can be met. No other ECMs are desired.
This Notice of Opportunity (NOO) invites current holders of the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Fourth Generation ESPC Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract to submit a written response (an expression of interest) to be considered for Contractor selection for this potential task order award. Details regarding how the Energy Service Company (ESCO) will meet the tax incentive deadlines shall also be included in the Expression of Interest (EOI).
The scope of the Task Order (TO) awarded for this project is a PV system at GSFC Area 100 as identified in this notice (see details in Sections 2 and 3 of the attached NOO). There are opportunities for additional PV systems, which could be investigated during the Investment Grade Audit (IGA) if the additional analysis does not jeopardize meeting tax incentive deadlines.
The purpose of this NOO update is to provide Government responses to industry questions.
