About the company
Allete, Inc., through its Minnesota Power division, supplies electrical utility services to federal facilities on an ongoing basis as a prime contractor, competing on a full-and-open, non-set-aside basis across federal agencies in the Upper Midwest. The company is a for-profit utility corporation headquartered in Duluth, Minnesota, with no SBA certifications.
Allete's federal footprint is dominated by routine electrical service delivery to federal correctional facilities and Army installations. The vendor holds recurring quarterly purchase orders with the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Institution Sandstone (13 awards, $3.4 million combined potential value) and Federal Prison Camp Duluth (12 awards, $341 thousand combined potential value), along with contracts supporting the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Detroit (9 awards, $574 thousand combined potential value). Recent representative work includes an $868.5 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from FCI Sandstone for electrical utility services covering fiscal year 2026 (awarded October 2025, completion September 2026), a $625 thousand Army contract for electric utility supply to the Duluth Project Office (awarded June 2026, completion June 2031), a $330 thousand Defense-funded contract for electrical service to Gull Lake and Pokegama Lake recreation areas and associated dams in McGregor, Minnesota (awarded January 2026, completion December 2035), and monthly contracts from Federal Prison Camp Duluth ranging from approximately $24 thousand to $34 thousand per month for routine electricity supply.
Beyond recurring utility contracts, Allete received a $103.6 million federal project grant from the Department of Energy under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act), awarded October 2024 with completion scheduled for September 2029. This grant supports the Minnesota Power High-Voltage Direct Current Termination Expansion Capability (HTEC) project, which involves designing and building two voltage source converter HVDC terminal stations capable of delivering 1,500 megawatts while sized and configured for future local and regional grid expansion.
Allete operates under two primary parent vehicles: a Basic Ordering Agreement (F2160380D1053) carrying 20 task orders and a GSA Indefinite Delivery Contract (GS05P00GAC0256) carrying 18 task orders valued at $4.5 million combined potential value. Activity has grown recently — from one award in 2024 to 14 in 2026 — driven primarily by recurring monthly purchase orders to federal correctional facilities. The company carries minimal recompete exposure, with only one award ($249 thousand) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.
Allete operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontractor footprint in its federal award portfolio. The vendor's NAICS concentration is heavily weighted toward Electric Power Distribution (44 awards) and Other Electric Power Generation (23 awards combined), with 95 of 97 awards classified under PSC code for Utilities—Electric. Combined dollars obligated across all awards ($118.1 million) substantially exceed combined potential value ($11 million), reflecting the vendor's status as the incumbent, recurring utility provider to these federal facilities with historical invoiced revenue exceeding contract ceilings.
