Duke Energy Progress, LLC

Duke Energy Progress, LLC, a subsidiary of Duke Energy Corporation, delivers electrical utility services and renewable energy infrastructure to federal agencies as a prime contractor, competing full-and-open with no small business set-asides across its portfolio. The company is headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, and operates as a for-profit entity registered in SAM since 2002, with parent company Progress Energy, Inc.

Duke Energy Progress's federal capability portfolio centers on utility service delivery — monthly electrical billing to federal correctional facilities, military installations, and civilian agencies; energy infrastructure upgrades including microgrid systems and energy conservation measures; and renewable energy generation through large-scale solar facilities. Representative work includes a $3.5 million delivery order for electric utility services at Federal Correctional Complex Butner (October 2025 through September 2026), a $23.2 million microgrid design-build-commission project at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune (award September 2022, completion January 2027), a $1.2 million energy conservation and HVAC upgrade contract for Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point (award June 2025, completion August 2026), and ongoing monthly billing delivery orders at Federal Correctional Complex Terre Haute ranging from $135,000 to $340,000 per month since 2023.

Customer concentration reflects Duke Energy Progress's entrenched position in federal utility procurement. The Marine Corps anchors the top-value ranking with $286.4 million combined potential value across ten awards; the Air Force Air Combat Command follows with $96.8 million across ten awards; and the Navy's Naval Facilities Engineering Command carries $65.7 million across nine awards. By award count, the Army leads with 226 awards (111 thousand combined potential value), followed by the Air Force with 198 awards, and the US Agency for Global Media with 81 awards. The Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Complex Terre Haute represents the highest-value civilian customer with 32 awards totaling $23.8 million, while Federal Correctional Complex Butner represents 11 awards worth $26 million combined. These top five customers account for 64% of all awards by count but only 57% of combined potential value — a divergence driven by the Marine Corps, Air Force, and Navy holdings of large-value single awards that dwarf the monthly utility billing pattern at correctional facilities.

Duke Energy Progress operates through five major parent indefinite delivery vehicles. IDC DAKF4074C0320 carries 197 task orders; IDC GS00P14BSD1055 (the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service vehicle) carries 173 task orders worth $695.1 million combined potential value and represents the company's largest active ordering platform; IDC F3161059D0248 carries 152 task orders; Basic Ordering Agreement F3860679D0006 carries 22 task orders; and IDC 47PA0425D0023 carries 21 task orders worth $9.8 million. The IDC GS00P14BSD1055 vehicle is the single largest revenue source and reflects Duke Energy Progress's role as the primary utility provider for federal correctional complexes and military installations across the continental United States.

Two strategic indefinite delivery contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency Energy define Duke Energy Progress's renewable energy position and anchor the recompete cliff. The first, valued at $248.6 million with a 15-year delivery period (awarded September 2022, termination for convenience status noted in most recent update), calls for design, construction, and operation of two off-site solar photovoltaic facilities in South Carolina and North Carolina, generating an estimated 4.8 million megawatt hours of clean electricity to military installations, veterans hospitals, federal correctional facilities, Internal Revenue Service offices, and national cemeteries through multiple states. The second, a $50 million single-award IDC for comprehensive electric, natural gas, and energy management services (awarded April 2025, completion April 2035), extends the company's utility services reach into the 2035 timeframe. Combined, these two vehicles represent potential value-at-risk: 18 awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $357 million, signaling significant recompete exposure centered on the solar facility contract and Defense Logistics Agency Energy renewals.

Award volume has grown modestly year over year — from six awards in 2022 to twelve in 2024 and seventeen in 2025, with eleven awards recorded in 2026 through September. The source identifies 895 total prime awards spanning seventy years of federal contracting history, with $874.7 million combined potential value. NAICS concentration reflects pure-play utility operations: 516 awards under Electric Power Distribution (NAICS 2211), 49 under Fossil Fuel Electric Power Generation, and subordinate categories under hydroelectric and bulk transmission; PSC coding shows 807 awards under Utilities–Electric with subordinate Utilities–Gas and Utilities–Other categories. Duke Energy Progress holds no identified subcontractors on its prime federal awards and executes all work using internal resources as a large utility provider.
