About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI · Mar 11, 2026

The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District has issued a Special Notice to announce a virtual Industry Day for the ERCIP Fort Sill Microgrid project. This Design-Bid-Build construction project concerns the development of a power generation and smart microgrid system designed to provide energy resilience at Fort Sill. The virtual industry day meeting is scheduled for Monday, March 16, 2026, at 1:00 P.M. Eastern Time via Microsoft Teams. The Special Notice was posted on March 9, 2026, with a due date of March 13, 2026. This opportunity is classified under NAICS code 237130 (Power and Communication Line and Related Structures Construction) and uses no set-aside provisions.

The primary objective of this project is to construct a 10.3 MW natural gas reciprocating internal combustion engine power plant with associated microgrid infrastructure capable of maintaining energy resilience for mission-critical functions at Fort Sill for at least 14 days during grid disconnection. The system will include distribution feeders, switchgear, protective relays, a SCADA system, and microgrid controls, with the generation facility located southeast of Building 3933 and a 6-inch natural gas branch line installation required. Interested contractors are expected to attend the virtual Industry Day to gain project details and clarification; the meeting link has been provided in the Special Notice. Bid options are available, including Option 1 for an 18.0 MW configuration using two 9.0 MW generators and Options 2 and 3 each for 2 MW/MWh battery energy storage systems (BESS), with option feasibility to be evaluated based on bid pricing and available funding. No specific eligibility restrictions are noted in this Special Notice, though contractors should review the related opportunity posted on SAM.gov for comprehensive contract requirements and qualifications.

Please join us March 16, 2026, at 1:00 P.M. Eastern Time for a virtual Industry Day hosted by the Louisville District for the ERCIP Fort Sill Microgrid project.

Please see the related notice for more information on the project that has been posted to SAM.gov.

Description: The Design-Bid- Build (D/B/B) construction of a power generation and smart microgrid system with a base scope of a 10.3MW of natural gas reciprocating internal combustion engine (RICE - Generator 1) power plant, including a compressed air starting system, distribution feeders, paralleling switchgear, transformer, protective relays, shared load bank, medium voltage circuit breakers, SCADA system, reclosers and microgrid controls. This will be a design bid build project.

The microgrid system will provide energy resilience for at least (14) days to mission critical functions utilizing fossil fuel to support Fort Sill. The system shall be capable of connecting to and disconnecting from the electric utility grid for exchange of power as well as islanding the installation from the electrical grid, shedding non-critical loads and providing emergency support to the IEWP identified critical facilities.

The 10.3 MW RICE power plant (18.0 MW if Bid Option 1 is accepted, using two 9.0 MW generators) will be located within a weather-proof shelter on an elevated plot of open land to the southeast of Building 3933. The project involves installing a 6-inch natural gas branch line to service the new generation plant. Bid Options 2 and 3 are for (2) MW/MWh of BESS each. Bid options will be analyzed once bids are accepted for feasibility based on provided bid price and available funding..

NAICS CLASSIFICATION CODES: 237130 – Power and Communication Line and Related Structures Construction.
