NAICS 221114 – Solar Electric Power Generation encompasses the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of utility-scale and distributed photovoltaic (PV) systems that convert sunlight directly into electricity for grid interconnection or on-site consumption. This sector includes solar array installation, inverters, tracking systems, energy storage integration, grid interconnection studies, and performance monitoring solutions. In the federal contracting landscape, this NAICS supports energy resilience, sustainability mandates, and renewable energy goals under executive orders and agency net-zero initiatives. Projects often involve complex engineering, environmental permitting, and compliance with Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) standards, making it a specialized niche within the broader clean energy procurement ecosystem. No contractor data is available for this NAICS code based on current government contracting records. The Department of State is the primary federal agency awarding contracts under this NAICS code, primarily to support energy security and diplomatic infrastructure modernization at overseas facilities. These procurements typically fund solar microgrids, rooftop PV systems, and off-grid power solutions for embassies and consulates in remote or high-cost energy locations, aligning with the Department’s Global Climate Strategy and Foreign Assistance priorities. The competitive landscape for solar electric power generation in federal contracting is characterized by a small but highly specialized pool of contractors, often consisting of renewable energy developers, engineering firms with energy infrastructure expertise, and small businesses with niche certifications in federal solar procurement. Demand is driven by long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs), energy savings performance contracts (ESPCs), and mission-critical energy independence initiatives. Opportunities are concentrated in projects requiring compliance with federal sustainability frameworks and integration with existing utility infrastructure, presenting a steady, if selective, pipeline for qualified contractors with proven experience in federal energy projects.

Bidder counts reported on past federal awards in this NAICS (USAspending). An open opportunity has no bidders yet, so this is the historical norm for similar work, not a fact about this solicitation. Not all awards report bidder counts, and fewer bidders often means incumbent-held work rather than an easier win. Federal reporting of bidder counts fell from ~96% of awards (FY2016) to ~30% (FY2018 onward); the chart shows shares of reported awards, and washed-out stretches mark years with fewer than 30 of them.

INL-RFQ _ PR16035220 _ Solar Equipment Colombia
Solicitation # PR16035220
The International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs Office (INL) at the U.S. Embassy in Bogota has issued a combined synopsis/solicitation (RFQ PR16035220) for the procurement of solar equipment to support ERAD facilities in Colombia. The requirement specifically calls for 40W all-in-one LED solar street lights, including remote controls, support arms, and stainless steel poles, modeled after the Sylvania LED solar street light reference P29569 or an equivalent. The acquisition is being conducted under full and open competition using Simplified Acquisition Procedures in accordance with FAR Part 12. All equipment must be new, in its original packaging, and must not originate from China. Deliveries are required within 30 days after receipt of the order to specified locations in Barrancabermeja and Bogota. The contract will be awarded based on the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, evaluating technical acceptability, price, and contractor responsibility. Interested vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) to be eligible for award. While a previous requirement for samples has been waived per a recent amendment, vendors must still certify that the manufacturer's representative can provide support within the main cities of Colombia. Quotations must be submitted via email to the designated INL contact addresses no later than August 26, 2026, at 4:00 pm local Bogota time. This is a firm-fixed-price purchase order, with payments processed through the official Vendor Portal 30 days after the receipt of a proper invoice.

The Hub – Solar And Energy Infrastructure Project
Solicitation # 27-001SB
The City of Corona, California, is soliciting proposals under Bid #27-001SB for the The Hub – Solar And Energy Infrastructure Project, classified under NAICS code 221114 for solar electric power generation. The solicitation, posted on August 6, 2026, requires responses by September 17, 2026, and is open to all eligible contractors without a specified set-aside. The project’s performance location is set in Corona, CA, with a zip code of 92882, and primary point of contact is Scott Briggs, reachable via email and phone. Although the contract value is listed as $19, this figure is inconsistent with the scale of the project and likely represents a placeholder or error; no detailed pricing, line items, or cost breakdowns are provided in the documentation. Proposals must include mandatory certifications including a Non-Collusion Declaration, a Consultant’s Statement disclosing any prior contract disqualifications, and an acknowledgment of the Vendor Performance Evaluation Form, which will be used to assess contractor performance during and after project execution. No formal FAR clauses, contracting officer or COR details, payment instructions, invoicing systems, or accounting data are included in the available materials. The solicitation does not specify contract type, period of performance, delivery schedules, FOB terms, technical specifications, quality standards, or packaging requirements. While the overall scope centers on solar and energy infrastructure development, detailed technical deliverables, performance metrics, or applicable industry standards such as NEC or CALGreen are absent. Submission instructions lack clarity on format, media, page limits, or delivery method, though the need for signed physical declarations implies potential hard-copy requirements. No Unique Entity ID, CAGE code, size status, or socioeconomic certifications are requested, and there are no provisions for options, conflicts of interest, key personnel, or security clearances. The evaluation methodology, award basis, and criteria are not outlined, leaving the selection process entirely undefined in the provided documentation.

A 35% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goal is mandated, and offerors must comply with applicable federal and Louisiana state regulations, particularly if the project receives federal funding. The contract value, pricing structure, and specific technical requirements such as system capacity, interconnection standards, or maintenance obligations are not detailed in the available materials. No contract type (e.g., FFP or IDIQ) is explicitly stated, nor are there specified evaluation factors, weights, or award methodology provided. Key sections including the Statement of Work, Inspection and Acceptance criteria, packaging and marking requirements, payment and invoicing instructions, and mandatory representations or certifications are either absent or insufficiently detailed. The solicitation references compliance with regulatory frameworks but omits formal FAR clauses, MIL-STD standards, COTR assignments, or detailed financial accounting data such as TAS or ACRN codes. Offerors are expected to understand that full compliance with socioeconomic goals and regulatory mandates, along with submission through the designated portal, are critical to eligibility, though comprehensive technical and administrative specifications remain undocumented in the public-facing portion of the solicitation.
