DTE Energy Company

DTE Energy Company, doing business as DTE Energy, supplies natural gas and electric utility services to federal facilities as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) under full-and-open competitive procurement with no set-asides. The company is a for-profit corporate entity headquartered in Detroit, Michigan, operating through utility subsidiaries DTE Gas Company, DTE Electric Company, and DTE Biomass Energy Inc., with federal contracting activity spanning more than two decades and 197 awards totaling $105.1 million in combined potential value.

DTE Energy's capability portfolio centers on two concrete utility services: natural gas distribution (90 awards across the portfolio) and electric power distribution (43 awards), delivered to federal facilities in the Midwest region. Representative prime work includes a $1.15 million firm fixed-price delivery order to supply natural gas to Federal Correctional Institution Milan through September 2025, a $1.00 million electrical utility delivery order to the same facility, a $508 thousand natural gas supply contract for the Gerald Ford Museum through the National Archives and Records Administration running through September 2033, and a $589 thousand electric utility delivery order to the Department of the Army's Detroit District Office through March 2027. All major awards are placed against GSA Schedule Contract 47PA0418D0032, DTE Energy's government-wide acquisition schedule vehicle for utility services.

Customer concentration is dominated by the Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 10, which accounts for 64 awards and $29.5 million in combined potential value, followed distantly by the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Institution Milan (15 awards, $11.8 million) and the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Region 5 (26 awards, $2.8 million). However, the top-customer-by-potential-value ranking reveals an outlier: a single $50 million award from GSA Public Buildings Service Central Office Energy Division skews the dollar concentration significantly — that one award represents 48% of total potential value across the entire portfolio. Across five distinct customer categories covering 92% of combined potential value, DTE Energy serves 17 agencies in total.

Activity has declined markedly: four awards in 2022, five in 2023, two in 2024, and one each in 2025 and 2026. Five awards totaling $3.8 million in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure in a narrow window. DTE Energy operates almost entirely as a prime (196 of 197 awards); the single sub-award is a low-income energy assistance program (LIHEAP) sub-grant from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services dated October 2023. Combined dollars obligated stand at $68.1 million (65% of potential value), indicating substantial ongoing performance against existing contracts. The company does not hold federal grant prime awards; grant work is routed through state agencies as recipient partners.
