Chugach Electric Association, Inc.

Chugach Electric Association, Inc. is a non-profit electric utility cooperative headquartered in Anchorage, Alaska, that serves as a critical infrastructure partner for federal agencies operating in the state. As Alaska's primary electricity provider for federal installations, the company provides essential electric utility services to military and civilian government facilities throughout the Anchorage region and has maintained its System for Award Management registration since May 2000. Chugach Electric's tax-exempt status and established relationships with federal agencies position it as a strategic vendor for long-term utility service procurement across multiple Department of Defense and civilian agency operations.

Chugach Electric Association has developed a substantial federal contracting portfolio centered on providing electricity services to Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER) in Anchorage, Alaska, and other federal facilities. The company has received multiple delivery orders from Pacific Air Forces for JBER electric services, including awards valued at $27.7 million (FY26, awarded October 3, 2025), $21.5 million (FY25, awarded October 1, 2024), $17.4 million (FY24, awarded October 1, 2023), $14.6 million (FY23, awarded October 1, 2022), $25.2 million (FY22, awarded October 1, 2021), and $6.9 million (FY21 third quarter, awarded April 1, 2021). All JBER delivery orders were issued as firm fixed-price contracts without set-aside designations and operated as predecessor contracts under the larger F6550180D0018 contract vehicle. Additionally, Chugach Electric received a task order award from the Office of Policy Management and Budget valued at $89,292.88 (awarded July 8, 2025) and another from the same agency valued at $77,646.68 (awarded July 15, 2024) for electric utility services to federal office buildings in Anchorage. The company also completed an electric meter relocation project for Pacific Air Forces Region 10 valued at $108,977.08 (awarded September 21, 2023). All contract awards to Chugach Electric were issued as prime contractor awards with no subcontracting arrangements noted and carried no small business or other set-aside designations.

Chugach Electric Association has served as a sub-grantee under multiple federal disaster relief awards administered through the Alaska Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, funded by FEMA Disaster Relief appropriations. Between June 2021 and October 2022, the company received approximately twenty documented federal grant sub-awards related to disaster recovery projects designated under DR 4413, which appears to reference a specific FEMA disaster declaration. These sub-grant awards supported permanent repairs, emergency protective measures, and assessments across Chugach Electric's critical infrastructure assets, including work at the Beluga Power Plant, Point Mackenzie Substation, Eklutna Hydro Plant, LaTouche Substation, and various system-wide facilities. Individual project work orders included facility-specific emergency protective measures, permanent repairs, and engineering project management related to underground tunnel and penstock safety assessments. The grant sub-awards demonstrate Chugach Electric's role in maintaining essential utility infrastructure resilience in Alaska during federally-declared disaster recovery periods, with the Alaska Department of Military and Veterans Affairs serving as the prime grantee administering FEMA relief funding.

Chugach Electric Association currently holds two active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with federal agencies. The primary IDV is a $96 million single-award contract with the Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces for electric utility services to Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, with a performance period extending through November 20, 2099, awarded October 1, 2023. This contract replaced predecessor contract F6550180D0018 and serves as the parent vehicle under which multiple annual delivery orders have been issued for JBER electricity services. The second IDV is a $1.19 million single-award contract with the Department of the Interior's Office of Aviation Services for electricity utility services supporting three federal office facilities in Anchorage, awarded July 16, 2024, with performance through July 15, 2034. This Interior contract was awarded through simplified acquisition procedures as a firm fixed-price procurement for commercial items under a sole-source determination, reflecting Chugach Electric's status as the incumbent utility provider. To date, two delivery orders have been executed under the Interior IDV, totaling approximately $166,939 in combined ceiling values through July 2026. Both IDVs were awarded as single-award contracts with no set-aside designations, establishing Chugach Electric as the exclusive provider for these critical federal utility service requirements.
