Cleco Power LLC

Cleco Power LLC, a subsidiary of Cleco Corporate Holdings LLC, provides electrical utility services to federal facilities as a prime contractor operating under full-and-open, non-set-aside awards. The company, based in Pineville, Louisiana, is a for-profit limited liability company specializing in electric power distribution and electrical infrastructure maintenance across Department of Justice prisons, Veterans Health Administration medical centers, and other federal installations nationwide.

Cleco Power's federal footprint is concentrated in its home state and neighboring regions. The top five customer entities account for 62% of recent awards by count but only a narrow slice of dollar value outside the single large indefinite delivery contract. The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons facilities dominate the sub-awards by volume — Federal Correctional Complex Pollock (10 awards, $17.5 million combined potential value) and Federal Correctional Complex Oakdale (7 awards, $12.4 million combined potential value) — with the U.S. Marshals Service Special Operations Group at Camp Beauregard anchoring 30 awards at $2.3 million combined potential value. However, the dollar-value ranking pivots sharply on a single $50 million single-award indefinite delivery contract (GSA Public Buildings Service Central Office Energy Division, awarded July 2, 2025, through July 1, 2035) that accounts for 94% of combined potential value across the portfolio. This IDV enables Cleco Power to issue delivery orders for electrical services across Department of Justice prisons, training centers, Veterans Health Administration medical centers and clinics, and other federal installations nationwide. Task orders under this vehicle and the GSA Schedule 00P-14-BSD-1053 account for 30 task orders totaling $29.4 million in combined potential value.

Cleco Power's recent work pattern shows contracted activity rather than growth. Two awards placed in 2025 and one in 2026 represent a sharp decline from prior years (8 awards in 2020, 6 in 2021, 5 in 2022), reflecting the shift to the large IDV as the primary ordering vehicle. Four awards (combined potential value $3.6 million) reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating modest recompete exposure. Representative delivery orders include a $2.746 million firm fixed-price order from Federal Correctional Complex Pollock for electricity utility services (October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027), a $1.448 million order from Federal Correctional Complex Oakdale for electrical services (November 2022 through January 2024), and three orders from the U.S. Marshals Service at Camp Beauregard totaling roughly $850 thousand for mission-critical electrical utility services supporting fugitive apprehension operations (October 1, 2022, through September 30, 2027). All awards carry firm fixed-price or fixed-price-with-economic-price-adjustment terms and no small business set-asides. The portfolio aligns almost entirely to PSC Utilities-Electric (86 awards) and NAICS Electric Power Distribution (70 awards), reflecting Cleco Power's identity as a regional electric utility providing standardized infrastructure support to federal facilities.
