About this opportunity
The Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC), an agency within the Department of the Navy, is conducting market research for a Utility Energy Service Contract (UESC) to develop and execute a comprehensive energy resilience project at Naval Support Activity (NSA) Annapolis. The procurement seeks a qualified utility provider to design, construct, and integrate a new Combined Heat and Power (CHP) co-generation plant with an associated microgrid and critical electrical infrastructure upgrades. Key service requirements include performing a Preliminary Assessment and Investment Grade Audit, designing and constructing the CHP facility with natural gas-fired turbines and waste heat recovery systems, upgrading natural gas supply infrastructure, managing electrical grid interconnection with potential power export capabilities, and relocating the 13C-1 electrical substation. This is a sources sought notice only and does not constitute a formal request for proposals; the market research will inform future procurement methodology decisions. Interested parties must submit responses by February 20, 2026, though this notice serves as preliminary market research rather than an official solicitation.
This pre-solicitation notice includes no set-aside designations, and no incumbent contractor or award value information has been disclosed at this stage. The contract is categorized under Product Service Code S112 (Utilities- Electric) and NAICS Code 221122 (Electric Power Distribution), with performance to occur at NSA Annapolis, Maryland. The information gathered through this sources sought process will be retained within NAVFAC and will not be disclosed to parties outside the agency. No specific timeline for project completion, budget ceiling, or quantity metrics have been announced in this market research notice. Qualified utility providers interested in this opportunity should prepare documentation demonstrating experience in UESC development, CHP system design and construction, microgrid integration, and utility infrastructure upgrades.
