About Allete, Inc.
Allete, Inc. (Minnesota Power Division), a for-profit utility company headquartered in Duluth, Minnesota, supplies electrical utility services to federal agencies as a prime contractor on a full-and-open, non-competitive basis. The vendor operates exclusively through firm fixed-price purchase orders with no set-aside designations and has not competed under 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other small-business categories in the source award footprint. Allete competes in NAICS 221122 (Electric Power Distribution) and PSC 7410 (Utilities — Electric), reflecting its core infrastructure role as a critical electricity provider to federal facilities.
Allete's federal portfolio centers on routine electrical utility supply to federal correctional facilities in Minnesota. Recent awards include quarterly electricity contracts to Federal Correctional Institution Sandstone (13 awards, $3.3 million combined potential value, with a notable $868.5 thousand individual award covering July 2025 through September 2026) and Federal Prison Camp Duluth (12 awards, $350 thousand combined potential value), both funded by the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons. The vendor also holds contracts with the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Detroit (9 awards, $574 thousand combined potential value) for utility services at Gull Lake and Pokegama Lake recreation areas and associated dams in McGregor, Minnesota, where it maintains a $330 thousand extended-performance contract through December 2035. Allete's customer base spans ten federal agencies, with the top five representing 66% of recent awards by count. Activity has accelerated sharply — two awards in 2023, one in 2024, eight in 2025, and thirteen in 2026 — indicating expanded federal footprint capture, though the combined potential value of $10.2 million reflects the routine, recurring nature of utility supply contracts.
Allete places 20 task orders under Basic Ordering Agreement F2160380D1053 and 18 task orders under GSA Indefinite Delivery Contract GS05P00GAC0256 (combined potential value $4.5 million), suggesting a secondary revenue stream through GSA vehicles beyond its primary Department of Justice correctional-facility work. The company sits on six awards with ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $1.3 million), a moderate recompete exposure relative to its active contract base.
Beyond its routine utility operations, Allete received a $103.6 million Department of Energy project grant (CFDA 81.122, awarded October 2024, with ultimate completion September 2029) under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to design and build two voltage source converter high-voltage direct current terminal stations capable of delivering 1,500 megawatts as part of its Minnesota Power High-Voltage Direct Current Termination Expansion Capability project. This transformational infrastructure grant positions Allete as a strategic federal partner in grid modernization, though grant work remains separate from its primary purchase-order-based contracting posture.
Allete operates through named subsidiaries including Minnesota Power Company, Superior Water Light & Power Co, and Water Chemical Service Incorporated. The vendor's federal contracting footprint is entirely domestic, concentrated in Minnesota, with no identified subcontractors or teaming arrangements across the source award history.
