Solar PV Installation - Request for Information

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) is seeking industry input through a no-cost Request for Information (RFI) to inform the development of a future solicitation for on-site solar photovoltaic (PV) installations at TDCJ facilities. The project aims to utilize an energy savings performance contract (ESPC) approach, which allows for the implementation of solar projects with no upfront cost to the agency. This RFI is intended to gather industry insights and is not associated with any immediate award or contractual obligation. The solicitation, identified as 696-FD-25-I015, was posted on January 18, 2025, with a response deadline of March 18, 2025. The project is estimated to have a contract value ranging from five million to twenty million dollars and falls under the NAICS code 455211. The primary point of contact for this initiative is Christie Duncan, who can be reached via email or phone. The project is located within Texas and is managed by the Correctional Institutions Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
