About the company
Powerworld Corp, a Champaign, Illinois-based for-profit Subchapter S corporation, licenses and maintains electric grid modeling and simulation software to federal energy and defense agencies as a prime contractor (94% of awards) competing in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designations. The company specializes in its proprietary PowerWorld Simulator platform and related modules—SimAuto, Distributed Transient, Available Transfer Capability (ATC), Optimal Power Flow (OPF), and Security Constrained Optimal Power Flow (SCOPF)—which perform power system analysis, grid planning, and infrastructure visualization for utility and federal missions. Recent prime awards include a $103.5 thousand firm fixed-price software license renewal with the Western Area Power Administration for the period January 2026 through January 2027, a $36.3 thousand ATC maintenance services purchase order from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (September 2026 through September 2027), a $92.4 thousand FY25 maintenance renewal with WAPA, and a $23.6 thousand single-user license purchase from Naval Sea Systems Command.
Powerworld's customer base concentrates heavily in Department of Energy civilian agencies. The Western Area Power Administration leads across both award count and potential value (19 awards, $848 thousand combined potential value), followed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (13 awards, $430 thousand), Naval Sea Systems Command (10 awards, $119 thousand), and the Southeastern Power Administration (8 awards, $101 thousand); these four customers represent 70% of award volume. The combined potential value across all 77 awards totals $1.7 million, though cumulative obligations reach $4.7 million—a signal of recurring annual renewals. The vendor maintains a secondary subcontract footprint: Powerworld has subcontracted to Applied Research Associates on Defense Threat Reduction Agency technical reachback services and electromagnetic effects research (three sub awards, 2023–2025), and to Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station as a sub-recipient on a research and development grant for natural hazard and large language model enhanced electric grid planning (February 2026). Activity has held relatively flat over the past five years (three to five awards annually), with three awards facing completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $148 thousand). The majority of Powerworld's award footprint falls under NAICS 541511 (Software Publishers) and PSC 7030 (Information Technology Software), reflecting its focus as a specialized software vendor rather than a broad-based services contractor.
