About this opportunity

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District is soliciting proposals for the construction of a microgrid system at Fort Stewart-Hunter Army Airfield under the Energy Resilience and Conservation Investment Program (ERCIP). The project involves constructing a natural gas generation plant with existing Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (RICE) generators, connected to the installation's distribution switching station and natural gas infrastructure. Key components include generators, a newly installed microgrid control system, paralleling switchgear, unit transformers, fire protection and detection systems, and various supporting facilities such as utility connections, site preparation, security lighting, paving, and landscaping. The microgrid control system will provide smart switching capabilities at the feeder level to meet the power needs of the entire installation. Responses to this pre-solicitation notice are due by September 5, 2025, with the original posting date of August 21, 2025.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and will be awarded as a single Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contract. The solicitation specifically identifies Canoochee Electric Membership Cooperative (CEMC) as the intended sole source contractor, as authorized under the FY24 NDAA for ERCIP projects where the utility system has been conveyed under 10 USC Section 2688 and only provides services to a military installation. The project is classified under NAICS code 237130 for Power and Communication Line and Related Structures Construction and PSC code Y1NZ for Construction of Other Utilities. The contract structure indicates that CEMC owns the installation's distribution switching station and will be responsible for integrating the new microgrid components with existing infrastructure.
