Schneider Electric Federal, Inc.

Schneider Electric Federal, Inc., a foreign-owned small disadvantaged business subsidiary of global Schneider Electric, delivers building automation systems, energy management infrastructure, utility monitoring and control systems, and technical training services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (91% of recent awards) and selective subcontractor on defense programs. The company competes full-and-open across most of its prime footprint, with no characteristic set-aside posture — recent awards cluster under full-and-open delivery orders and contracts without small business designations.

Schneider Electric Federal's customer concentration tilts heavily toward two anchoring agencies that dominate the dollars-per-award metric. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering Support Center Huntsville drives $2.61 billion in combined potential value (7 awards, 5% of award count but 90% of total potential value), anchored by the Utility Monitoring and Control Systems Fifth Generation (UMCS-V) IDIQ and a $29.8 million delivery order for utility monitoring, controls, and electronic security systems installation at the Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick, Maryland (awarded September 2023, completion October 2029). The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Headquarters places 37 awards worth $200 million combined potential value across building automation system training, facility control upgrades, and related technical services, including a $1.89 million BACnet building automation system design and construction at the Northern California TRACON facility (awarded September 2021, completion August 2024). The General Services Administration Public Buildings Service National Capital Region holds 16 awards ($24.6 million combined potential value) for firmware upgrades, control panel replacements, and facility maintenance across regional facilities. Together these three customers account for 55% of all awards and 98% of total potential value — an extreme concentration driven by the UMCS-V vehicle and multi-year FAA training IDVs.

Schneider Electric Federal holds position on two government-wide vehicles and two agency-specific indefinite delivery contracts. The Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) multiple-award IDIQ (Missile Defense Agency, awarded December 2025, performance through December 2035) carries a multi-billion-dollar ceiling and encompasses research, development, prototyping, systems engineering, and production across air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid defense domains; a $500 initial task order was issued December 2025. The OASIS+ Unrestricted IDIQ (GSA Federal Acquisition Service, awarded December 2024, performance through December 2029) carries no dollar ceiling specified and enables delivery of integrated building management, automation, electronic security, and technical services across civilian and defense agencies. The Utility Monitoring and Control Systems Fifth Generation (UMCS-V) single-award IDIQ (Army Corps of Engineers) generated 10 task orders worth $78 million in combined potential value, spanning SCADA system operations and maintenance, advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) modernization, and energy code revision modifications at Navy, Army, and Marine Corps facilities from San Diego to Okinawa to Guam. Two agency-specific single-award training IDVs with civilian federal agency headquarters (SmartStruxure Building Automation System training and INET Building Automation Systems training, both awarded March 2022, performing through February 2027, ceilings $2.93 million and $2.48 million respectively) have generated five delivery orders each totaling $660 thousand and $261 thousand across multiple option periods. A GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract (awarded January 2022, performance through January 2027, $750,000 ceiling) lists 36 labor categories ranging from $80.51/hr fabricators (high school education) through $409.24/hr cleared power engineers (bachelor's degree, 8 years experience), covering power engineering, program management, project management, software and hardware engineering, graphics engineering, and technician services.

Concrete representative work spans building infrastructure modernization and energy systems management. A $21.9 million delivery order from Navy Installations Command (September 2024, completion March 2030) covers SCADA systems operational technical support and corrective maintenance at Naval Facilities Command Southwest San Diego under UMCS-V. A $2.85 million definitive contract from U.S. Pacific Fleet Forces (September 2025, completion May 2026) addresses replacement of Advanced Metering Infrastructure network switches and meters and restoration of full AMI functionality at wharf substations in Guam, including core network switch infrastructure and user workstations. A $4.75 million delivery order from Defense Health Agency (September 2024, completion December 2026) covers Building 503 Energy Code Revision Modifications at the agency's Frederick, Maryland facility under UMCS-V. A $1.03 million delivery order from U.S. Marine Corps (September 2021, completion November 2024) upgraded automated meter infrastructure servers, workstations, and equipment at Camp Fuji and Camp Butler in Okinawa, Japan under UMCS-V. Building automation training spans multiple options and customer agencies — the two single-award IDVs have fielded SmartStruxure and INET system training delivery orders for the Department of Transportation FAA, Department of Defense, and unnamed civilian agency headquarters, with values ranging from $19,001 to $232,238 per task order.

Activity has grown year over year (8 awards in 2022 to 19 in 2025) with nine awards worth $10.9 million combined potential value completing in the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure on training IDVs and regional SCADA maintenance contracts. Across SCI-reportable federal service contracts (federal services above the $150,000 reporting threshold), Schneider Electric Federal invoiced $1.1 million in FY2023 and $1.8 million in FY2024, supported by 1.4 and 2.1 FTEs respectively — a small slice of the vendor's broader federal footprint. On those SCI prime contracts, median government-paid hourly rates ran around $305/hr, with senior technical roles pricing through $7,860/hr and junior fabricator labor at $197/hr, consistent with the GSA Schedule rate band. SCI subcontractor engagement was minimal; the 0% average sub-hours share indicates Schneider Electric Federal builds its own delivery teams on these service contracts rather than subcontracting labor.

The vendor's subcontractor footprint names a modest set of defense and facilities-services primes: Booz Allen Hamilton (energy efficiency BPA work, April 2026), Johnson Controls Government Systems (energy savings performance contracting at the National Capital Region including New Executive Office Building and Eisenhower Executive Office Building cooling and BAS upgrades, February 2026), BAE Systems Land & Armaments (MK 41 Vertical Launch System mechanical design and materials, November 2025), Smartronix (TARCES Navy task order services, November 2025), General Dynamics Information Technology (CITS task order incremental funding, September 2025), Northrop Grumman Systems (Ground-Based Strategic Deterrent engineering and manufacturing development, August 2025), and Vectrus Systems (facility repair and maintenance services, January 2024 and June 2024). This sub pattern reflects selective participation in larger defense systems and facilities-services programs rather than systematic teaming.

Schneider Electric Federal competes across 44 distinct customer agencies, spanning the full federal technology and facilities landscape. Top NAICS codes reflect the building-systems focus: Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (31 awards), Automatic Environmental Control Manufacturing (16 awards), Plumbing Heating and Air-Conditioning Contractors (12 awards), Computer Systems Design Services (12 awards), and Facilities Support Services (10 awards). Top PSC codes cluster around R&D general science and technology engineering development (26 awards), maintenance and repair of special industry machinery (11 awards), and installation of electrical and electronic equipment components (9 awards). The vendor's headquarters location in Columbia, Maryland positions it for National Capital Region federal work and aligns with the concentration of FAA and GSA regional awards.
