RFI - Survey for Advance Contract Initiative Temporary Emergency Power

The Department of Defense, through the USACE Pittsburgh District, is conducting a sources-sought fact-finding exercise for an Advance Contract Initiative regarding Temporary Emergency Power. This initiative aims to establish a contract prior to federal declared emergencies to ensure rapid response capabilities across the United States and its territories. The current objective is to gather industry feedback on logistics, mobilization sequencing, subcontractor relationships, and cost drivers to inform future scope considerations and efficiency improvements. The scope of work involves providing all labor, equipment, and materials to support temporary emergency power activities through three phases: Mission Readiness, Mission Mobilization, and Mission Execution. Key responsibilities include conducting pre-installation inspections to determine generator sizing and connection methods, managing equipment at staging areas, and executing the installation of generators and external fuel tanks. Contractors must adhere to specific FEMA Bill of Materials standards and maintain 24-hour response operations. Operational requirements include the potential deployment of a five-person Advanced Echelon team and the appointment of a Site Safety and Health Officer. Performance is measured by the accuracy of installation assessments and the ability to mobilize assets to staging areas in a fully operational status. The process is governed by strict reporting timelines, including a 30-minute voice communication response standard and a 60-minute notification window for mishaps or incidents.
