The VA will utilize the Department of Energy (DOE) Qualified List of Energy Service Companies (ESCOs). The NAICS code for this procurement is 541330 and the Small Business Administration Size Standard is $38.5 million. ESPCs are multi-year contracts authorized under 42 U.S.C. § 8287 for the purposes of achieving energy savings and benefits ancillary to that purpose. Through ESPCs, prequalified ESCOs develop, finance, implement, and perform measurement & verification on energy conservation measures (ECMs) for federal agencies at no upfront cost to the installation or agency. The return to an ESCO is a contractually determined share of the energy cost savings generated by the ESPC project. Prior to award of a contract, the ESCO conducts a comprehensive energy audit and identifies improvements to avoid facility energy costs and energy related operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. The ESCO guarantees annual cost savings upon implementation of the ECMs and privately finances the investment. The delivery schedule is amortized to allow the federal agency customer to pay for ESCO services and debt service from annual cost savings over the term of the contract.
