Notice of Opportunity (NOO) for Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC) - Royal Air Force Lakenheath, United Kingdom

The Department of Energy (DOE) Super Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPC) Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) mechanism will be used by DLA Energy to award a Task Order for a project at Royal Air Force Lakenheath in the United Kingdom. The DOE ESPC IDIQ contracts were awarded to twenty qualified Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) capable of delivering energy conservation measures (ECMs) without requiring upfront payment from the federal agency. These ESCOs finance, develop, and implement energy-saving projects, with their returns based on a predetermined share of the energy cost savings achieved. Prior to issuing a Task Order, the selected ESCO conducts a thorough energy audit to identify potential improvements that can reduce energy and operational costs, guarantees annual savings, and finances the project privately. The costs are recovered over the contract period through the energy savings, making the project financially sustainable for the federal agency. The solicitation, titled "Notice of Opportunity (NOO) for Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC) - Royal Air Force Lakenheath, United Kingdom," was posted on October 28, 2024, with responses due by November 8, 2024, at 3:00 pm EST. Interested parties must submit their responses via email to DLA Energy, with a maximum size of 10 MB.

Key contacts include Jacob Vigil and MaryLee Huerta, who can be reached for further information. The project aims to leverage ESPC arrangements to improve energy efficiency at the site, with the selected ESCO responsible for designing, installing, and operating the energy conservation measures under the terms of the IDIQ contract.
