What this contract is for

Please only submit a Proposal if you are true Consortium Management Organization (CMO).

Department of Defense (DoD) installations largely rely on off-site energy providers to support land, air, sea, space, and cyberspace-based national security missions. This dependence creates unacceptable risks, because grid outages caused by maintenance issues, extreme weather, and attacks by determined adversaries may impact our national security missions. To ensure mission continuity even during a grid outage, congress has mandated that DoD achieve by 2030 at least 99.9% energy resilience year-round (i.e., no more than 8.76 hours of downtime annually) for all of its critical missions at all DoD installations (See 10 U.S.C. § 2920). The Department of the Air Force (DAF) alone has identified nearly 4,000 resilience gaps at its installations worldwide that need rapid and cost-effective mitigation. Meeting this challenge requires DAF to access innovative energy resilience technologies, deploy commercial off-the-shelf technologies, and implement new business models at an enterprise-wide scale with commercial speed. Concerned that DoD and the military services are unable to access or deploy these technologies and business models at the scale, speed, and cost-effectiveness required to meet its energy resilience challenges, Congress has encouraged DoD to leverage its authority pursuant to 10 U.S.C. § 4022, to partner with a third-party consortium dedicated to military installation resilience and energy innovation.[1] 1...

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.

Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
