The Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) intends to award a Utility Energy Service Contract (UESC) to Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (BGE) for the design, construction, commissioning, and financing of a comprehensive energy resilience project at Naval Support Activity (NSA) Annapolis, Maryland.
\n\nThe proposed project, estimated at approximately $45 million, will include a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) cogeneration plant integrated with a microgrid to enhance installation energy resilience. Major project elements include:
\n\nA CHP system supporting an estimated 19 MW peak electrical demand, including three natural gas-fired turbines and associated heat-recovery systems;
\n\nAn integrated microgrid control system capable of island-mode operation during utility grid outages;
\n\nAn absorption chiller at the Lejeune Chilled Water Plant (597U) utilizing recovered waste heat;
\n\nRelocation and upgrade of the 13C-1 electrical substation;
\n\nRequired natural-gas infrastructure upgrades and electric-grid interconnection activities;
\n\nAn Investment Grade Audit (IGA), design, engineering, construction, testing, commissioning, and construction management; and
\n\nOperator training and project turnover documentation.
\n\nBasis for Intended Sole Source
\n\nThe Government intends to use other than full and open competition pursuant to 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. The proposed action will be implemented as a UESC pursuant to 10 U.S.C. § 2913(d).
\n\nBGE is the franchised electric and natural-gas utility serving NSA Annapolis and owns and operates the affected utility distribution infrastructure. GSA Areawide Public Utility Contract No. 47PA0724D0003 provides for BGE electric, natural-gas, and energy-management services within its franchised service territory.
\n\nThe contemplated UESC requires integrated responsibility for natural-gas capacity upgrades, electric-system interconnection, grid coordination, and modifications affecting BGE-owned or controlled infrastructure. These functions are integral to the CHP, microgrid, and island-mode requirements.
\n\nThe Government issued a Sources Sought Notice on February 5, 2026, which closed on February 20, 2026. Five firms responded to the notice. Based on the Government’s market research, acquisition planning, and review of the responses received, Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (BGE) was determined to be the only responsible source capable of satisfying the Government’s requirements. BGE was the only respondent possessing the requisite utility-service authority, control of the affected infrastructure, and ability to execute or authorize the necessary utility-system modifications and interconnection activities required to perform the contemplated UESC.
\n\nSubmission of Capability Information
\n\nThis notice is not a request for competitive proposals. However, responsible sources that believe they possess the capability, legal authority, and financing capacity to perform the complete requirement may submit a written capability statement.
\n\nCapability statements should demonstrate:
\n\nLegal authorization to provide the required electric and natural-gas utility services to NSA Annapolis;
\n\nAuthority and ability to execute or authorize the required utility-infrastructure modifications;
\n\nAbility to perform and coordinate required electric-grid interconnection activities, including coordination with PJM Interconnection and applicable stakeholders;
\n\nExperience with projects of comparable size, scope, and complexity under a UESC or comparable utility-financed arrangement; and
\n\nAbility to provide the financing necessary to implement the project.
\n\nResponses shall contain sufficient information for the Government to determine whether the respondent can satisfy the complete requirement and shall be submitted electronically in PDF format to olisha.g.costa.civ@us.navy.mil no later than 1:00 PM Eastern Time on Tuesday, November 10, 2026.
\n\nThe Government will consider timely responses before determining whether to proceed with the contemplated sole-source action. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The Government will not pay for information submitted in response to this notice.
