Sterling Planet, Inc.

Sterling Planet, Inc., a for-profit renewable energy certificate and carbon offset provider headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia, has been registered in SAM.gov since December 2003 and serves as a key supplier of environmental attribute certificates to the federal government. The company specializes in providing Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) derived from solar, wind, and biomass sources to help federal agencies meet renewable energy mandates and carbon pollution-free electricity objectives outlined in the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and Executive Order 14057. Sterling Planet leverages its established relationships with federal procurement entities to facilitate streamlined acquisition of environmental attributes across multiple agencies within the Department of Defense and civilian sectors.

Sterling Planet's federal contract portfolio demonstrates extensive experience delivering renewable energy certificates across a diverse range of federal agencies and contract types. The company has received delivery orders and purchase orders from the Defense Logistics Agency Energy, National Institute of Standards and Technology, U.S. Air Force Air Combat Command, Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Office of Policy Management and Budget, Food and Drug Administration, Maritime Administration, Indian Health Service, National Institutes of Health, and National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. Contract awards have ranged from approximately $4,600 to $762,573 in individual ceiling values, with quantities measured in megawatt-hours (MWh) of renewable energy certificates. Several awards have been designated as Total Small Business set-asides, recognizing Sterling Planet's status as a small business contractor, while others carried no specific set-aside designations. Notable awards include a $762,573 definitive contract from DLA Energy for approximately 500,000 MWh of renewable energy certificates, a $136,359 delivery order from the Air Force Air Combat Command under a Total Small Business set-aside, and a $99,999.18 purchase order from the Office of Policy Management and Budget against a DLA Basic Ordering Agreement. The company has consistently delivered RECs to support federal sustainability initiatives across fiscal years 2021 through 2026, with recent orders including a January 2026 DLA purchase order for 21,000 MWh valued at $25,830 and a September 2024 USDA order for 19,777 MWh of solar and wind power certificates.

Sterling Planet holds two Basic Ordering Agreements (BOAs) with the Defense Logistics Agency Energy, each valued at $2.5 million, establishing the company as a qualified supplier for renewable energy certificate procurement across the federal government. The first BOA, awarded July 11, 2023, has an ultimate completion date of January 1, 2027, and was issued under NAICS code 221115 for wind electric power generation as part of a multiple-award contract with a maximum ordering capacity of $12.5 million across all BOA holders. The second BOA, awarded April 28, 2022, carries an ultimate completion date of April 28, 2027, and similarly operates as a multiple-award vehicle under NAICS code 221115 with the same $12.5 million maximum ordering capacity across all BOA holders. These BOAs enable authorized ordering agencies across the Department of Defense and federal civilian sectors—including the U.S. Air Force, Department of Agriculture, NASA, FDA, NIST, and numerous other civilian agencies—to acquire renewable energy certificates through a streamlined procurement process in support of carbon pollution-free electricity initiatives. Numerous delivery orders and purchase orders documented in Sterling Planet's award history have been issued against these DLA BOA vehicles, providing the company with a continuous mechanism to serve federal sustainability requirements through the January 2027 performance period.
