Description
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Huntsville Center (CEHNC) is seeking white papers that propose a relocatable, modular power generation and distribution system capable of delivering 18‑22 MW peak load to 10‑12 sites across the United States. The solution must be a turnkey, factory‑integrated package that includes diesel generators, fuel/DEF storage, switchgear, distribution, SCADA, and optional O&M support, all compliant with the Buy‑American Act and able to operate in any U.S. environment without reliance on existing utilities. The government will evaluate technical merit, schedule feasibility (must be operational by 28 Feb 2028), and eligibility (NDC participation, small‑business involvement, or third‑party funding). Successful white‑paper submitters may be invited to a solution pitch or directly to a Request for Prototype Proposal (RFPP) for prototype contracts valued $55 M‑$100 M each.
• Scope: Design, manufacture, integrate, test, ship, install, and commission modular diesel‑generator power plants (18‑22 MW) with full distribution and control systems.
• Key requirements: N+1 (or N+2) generator redundancy, 300‑ft load‑to‑plant distance, voltage stability ±2 %, harmonic limits, rapid black‑start, fuel/DEF for 3‑day full‑load operation, lightning protection, optional 1‑2 yr O&M.
• Performance deadline: Full operational capability at each site by 28 Feb 2028.
• Contract type: Firm‑fixed‑price milestone agreement under Other Transaction Authority.
• Estimated value: Aggregate $1.2 B; individual prototype awards $55 M‑$100 M.
• Submission: White paper ≤ 7 pages (5 pages content + 2 pages schedule/glossary) via PIEE by 25 Sep 2026, 1200 CST.
• Questions due: 16 Sep 2026, 1700 CST.
