Commonwealth Edison Co

Commonwealth Edison Co, doing business as Comed, is a for-profit electric utility company based in Chicago, Illinois, that supplies electrical power delivery and transmission services to federal facilities nationwide as a prime contractor. Comed competes in full-and-open procurement with no SBA set-asides across its federal footprint.

Comed's federal business centers on routine electrical utility service to federal buildings, correctional facilities, and infrastructure operated by civilian and defense agencies. The company delivers firm fixed-price contracts for electric power transmission, distribution, and related utility infrastructure support across the Chicago metropolitan region and northern Illinois, with recent representative work including a $450,000 delivery order from the Social Security Administration for electrical transmission service to the Harold Washington Social Security Center through July 31, 2026; a $180,000 purchase order from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for electrical utility service at its Region Five operation in Aurora, Illinois, running through July 29, 2031; a $723,077.42 delivery order from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for distribution of electric services completed in May 2023; and $43,994.80 and $19,915.69 quarterly delivery orders from the Metropolitan Correctional Center Chicago for electrical power delivery.

Customer concentration is extreme and dominated by a single acquisition pathway. The General Services Administration Public Buildings Service accounts for 77% of awards by count, with GSA Public Buildings Service Region 5 anchoring the dollar concentration at $50.8 million across 163 awards. The next four customers—Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 ($12.4 million, 38 awards), Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Chicago ($6.9 million, 30 awards), Social Security Administration ($5.7 million, 26 awards), and Department of the Army Corps of Engineers ($4.1 million, 23 awards)—account for an additional 21% of combined potential value. The top five customers cover 64% of potential value; the top five count-based customers cover 77% of awards, revealing high concentration in a small number of customer relationships.

Comed sits on three GSA indefinite delivery contracts that dominate its vehicle footprint: Indefinite Delivery Contract GS00P05BSD0361 (262 task orders, $64.4 million combined potential value), Indefinite Delivery Contract GS00P16BSD1205 (96 task orders, $29.5 million combined potential value), and Indefinite Delivery Contract GS00P87BSD0010 (53 task orders). The company also places task orders under Federal Supply Schedule GS00S28601 (42 task orders) and Basic Ordering Agreement 75625452 (27 task orders). Nearly all federal contract awards flow through these vehicles rather than standalone procurements.

Activity has declined from a high of 13 awards in 2022 to 5 awards in 2026 year-to-date, with 11 awards in 2025 representing a modest uptick. Twenty awards carrying combined potential value of $6.6 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure. The source reports 1,944 total awards with combined potential value of $124.6 million but combined obligated dollars of $384.1 million—a 308% ratio indicating that Comed invoices and receives payment significantly in excess of ceiling values across its portfolio, a typical pattern for commodity utility services where actual consumption varies by season and operational needs.

Comed's work is classified under two primary NAICS codes: Fossil Fuel Electric Power Generation (961 awards) and Electric Power Distribution (478 awards), reflecting the company's core business as a regional electric utility. The PSC category concentration is equally focused, with Utilities—Electric accounting for 1,869 awards. The company has no material subcontract footprint in the federal space and acts as a prime contractor on all listed awards.

Beyond federal contracting, Comed holds two substantial federal grant awards as a prime recipient. The Department of Commerce National Telecommunications and Information Administration awarded an $83.75 million project grant under the Middle Mile Broadband Grant Program (CFDA 11.033) for deployment of a 446-mile fiber network across underserved Chicago communities, with performance running from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2028. The Department of Energy awarded a project grant under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law for a Community Oriented Interoperable Control Framework for Aggregating and Integrating Distributed Energy Resources, with ultimate completion dated October 10, 2025. Comed also serves as a sub-recipient on four federal grant projects: a Department of Energy Midwest Center for Microgrid Cybersecurity (2MC) subaward with Illinois Institute of Technology (awarded March 25, 2025); an NSF Convergence Accelerator Track D project on AI-Enabled Resilient Microgrids with the Research Foundation for the State University of New York (awarded February 17, 2025); a Department of Energy resilience project with Washington State University (awarded July 30, 2024); and an Electric Power Research Institute project on resilient community microgrids (awarded February 16, 2024).
