Potomac Electric Power Co

Potomac Electric Power Co (doing business as Pepco) supplies electrical power distribution, transmission, and energy management services to the federal government as a regulated utility prime contractor, competing in full-and-open procurements without small business set-asides across 80 distinct civilian federal agencies. A subsidiary of Pepco Holdings LLC, the company is headquartered in Washington, DC and operates as a monopoly utility provider in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan region and Maryland, delivering electricity to federal facilities under firm fixed-price delivery orders and purchase orders with no federal subcontracting footprint — all federal work is delivered as prime.

Pepco's federal capability portfolio centers on routine electricity supply and delivery, electrical infrastructure upgrades, energy conservation measures, and utility energy services contracts at federal facilities throughout its franchised service territory. Representative work includes a $122.2 million delivery order from the National Institutes of Health Construction for Building 11 electrical substation upgrade (Phase 1A) at the Bethesda campus (completion May 31, 2028); a $61.7 million utility energy services contract energy conservation project with NIH Construction running through December 1, 2042; a $95.4 million consolidated billing meters delivery order with NIH Construction for Bethesda campus and non-campus facilities (completion January 27, 2027); a $20.9 million electricity supply and delivery order with NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD (completion November 30, 2026); a $38.5 million utility energy services contract energy conservation project with NIH Construction (completion February 28, 2038); and a $10.7 million electric distribution service order with the Consumer Product Safety Commission in Rockville, MD (completion September 30, 2030).

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the federal research and facility-management ecosystem. The Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health Office of Research Facilities Development Operations Acquisitions and NIH Construction account for $1.789 billion combined (46% of the vendor's total potential value across 467 awards), followed by the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service National Capital Region with $388.3 million (91 awards), the Smithsonian Institution with $136.2 million (22 awards), and the Department of the Treasury Bureau of Engraving and Printing with $115.3 million (17 awards). By award count, the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service dominates with 3,513 awards (58% of total), reflecting Pepco's role as the default utility provider for area-wide GSA-administered federal facilities in the National Capital Region, but the dollar concentration sits with NIH's major infrastructure and energy conservation programs.

Pepco holds a primary indefinite delivery contract, GS00P00BSD0138 (General Services Administration Public Buildings Service), from which 655 task orders worth $339.9 million have been issued by multiple agencies; Pepco also participates under a $1.11 billion IDC vehicle GS00P10BSD0725 (211 task orders), a $20 million single-award IDC with the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and a $50 million GSA area-wide utility services contract. Task orders flow primarily from GSA, NIH, the Smithsonian Institution, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Internal Revenue Service, the National Cancer Institute, NASA Goddard, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Department of State, the Department of Justice, and the Armed Forces Retirement Home.

Recent activity has remained flat to modestly declining — 12 awards in 2024, 16 in 2025 YTD, and 7 in 2026 (partial year) — with 19 awards (combined potential value $393.3 million) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore subject to recompete. The vendor's federal work is dominated by routine utility service delivery orders (5,767 of 6,061 awards carry PSC Utilities–Electric) under a stable, highly repetitive purchasing pattern.

Service Contract Inventory reporting captures minimal activity — $26 thousand invoiced across FY2022–FY2025 in SCI-reportable service contracts above the $150,000 threshold — reflecting Pepco's federal business model: most work flows through purchase orders and delivery orders for commodity electricity supply, not labor-intensive service contracts. SCI records show 0 FTEs reported across the period; Pepco's federal engagement is pure utility commodity delivery with no counted workforce associated with SCI-reportable service contracts. The vendor's total federal portfolio ($3.88 billion combined potential value, $3.37 billion obligated) far exceeds SCI visibility, confirming that federal revenue is dominated by goods (electricity) and utility services priced on consumption rather than labor.
