Solicitation # RUS-ARC-2026
The Affordable Rural Cooperative (ARC) Energy Program, administered by the Rural Utilities Service (RUS) under the USDA, is providing approximately 175 million dollars in loan and grant funding to support the deployment of emission-free nuclear power supply and advanced transmission infrastructure. Authorized under Section 22004 of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, the program aims to increase the resiliency, reliability, and affordability of rural electric systems while achieving significant net emission reductions. Funding is split equally between two categories: Eligible Energy and Transmission Energy Efficiency Improvements. For project and system loans, the RUS will finance up to 75 percent of total capitalized costs, requiring awardees to provide at least 25 percent in cash or equity, though certain grants or tax credits may be used toward this requirement. The application process is a two-stage competition starting with a Letter of Interest (LOI) submitted via Grants.gov between October 19, 2026, and November 20, 2026. Eligible entities must have an active SAM registration and a Unique Entity Identifier to apply. LOIs are evaluated based on reliability, resiliency, affordability, financial feasibility, and project timing, with the New Clean Power Tool used to measure projected emission reductions. Only those who receive an Invitation to Proceed may submit a full application within 90 days of the invitation. Awarded projects must commence after the notice publication date and be completed by September 30, 2031, with a performance period of four years from the date of environmental clearance. All awardees must comply with Buy America requirements and federal non-discrimination laws.

Description This request for information (RFI) is for planning purposes only and shall not be considered as an invitation for bid (IFB), request for quotation (RFQ), request for proposal (RFP), or as an obligation on the part of the Government to acquire any products or services. The government will not award a contract on the basis of this notice, or otherwise pay for information solicited by it. No entitlement to payment of direct or indirect costs or charges by the Government will arise as a result of contractor submission of responses to this announcement nor the Government's use of such information. Interested parties are responsible for adequately marking proprietary or competition sensitive information contained in their response. The requested information is for planning and market research purposes only and will not be publicly released. Responses to this RFI are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. However, the Government is anticipating the release of a solicitation for the requirements outlined below later this year through the United States Government's solicitation portal (beta.sam.gov). Please send your answers no later than 5 August 2020. The Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Europe Africa Southwest Asia (EURAFCENT) Command is seeking comments on draft requirements, market research, potential sources, and best practice information for the supply of low and medium voltage electricity at approximately 50 delivery points, and an estimated annual consumption of 154,000 MWH for three locations in Friuli, Campania, and Sicily. Constructive feedback, suggestions, and solutions are requested. Questions for consideration by contractors are as follows: Would your company lock into a multi-year contract with the U.S. Navy, with interim price adjustments? If so: What is the preferred number of years of the contract (1 yr, 2 yr, 3 yr or more)? Please specify and include the reasons why. What is preferred timeframe of price adjustments (every 6 months, every 12 months)? Please specify and include the reasons why. Which index would your company prefer be used to calculate the interim price adjustments (ICE, EEX, GME, Borsa Italiana)? Please specify and include the reasons why. Is your company able to offer a lower price (per unit) than a published market index for the commodity only? Is your company able to offer a lower price if there's a longer contract length (1 yr, 2 yr, 3 yr or more)? Please specify and include the reasons why. What are considerations the USN should be aware of when your company forecasts the bid price for longer term contracts (beyond 2 years)? For example: Does it take more time to formulate solicitation bid? Does your company have to buy additional hedging or risk products? Is a higher risk premium incorporated into the price? Has your company seen previous U.S. Navy solicitations for energy? If not, we have included a previous electrical procurement as a sample for your knowledge (RFI solicitation example.pdf). What could be changed to increase the ease and likelihood of your company's response to a solicitation? What pricing format would your company prefer to submit to the U.S. Navy in a competitive power market solicitation (for example: triband, peak/off-peak, one around-the-clock rate)? Are there any COVID-19 impacts that would affect your company's response to this solicitation (for example: longer RFP response time needed, more than a month)?
