About this opportunity

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy is seeking to establish Basic Ordering Agreements (BOAs) with contractors to supply and deliver Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) across the Continental United States. The solicitation supports federal renewable energy requirements under 42 U.S.C. 15852(a) and recent energy legislation, with additional considerations for Executive Orders 13990 and 14057. Contractors will be evaluated based on past performance, with emphasis on recent (2-year) and relevant experience in REC procurement and delivery. The solicitation will remain open continuously for five years, from April 28, 2022, to April 28, 2027, with all questions to be directed to specific DLA Energy email contacts. Offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and complete all required certifications and representations.

This opportunity is set aside for small businesses and covers multiple REC types including solar, wind, landfill gas, biomass, and Green-e certified options. The estimated total quantity is 2.5 million megawatt-hours of RECs, with a potential ordering capacity of $12.5 million across all BOA holders. Contractors must provide comprehensive documentation including REC Certificates of Transfer, Attestation Forms, and third-party verification audits. The place of performance is throughout the United States, with multiple federal agencies authorized to issue purchase orders against these BOAs, including the United States Department of Agriculture, FDA, and Fermi Lab. While the BOA is not a guaranteed contract, it provides a streamlined mechanism for federal agencies to procure renewable energy certificates efficiently and in alignment with current federal sustainability objectives.
