BFSU Electricity Services

The federal government buys electric power distribution services primarily through DLA Energy, which has awarded $2.87B across 41 contracts, and through various Army contracting offices that collectively account for billions in spending. The largest single buyer by transaction count is W2SD Endist Philadelphia with 1,297 awards totaling $979.61M. Most awards go to unrestricted competition, with 28,771 contracts marked as none and 10,238 with no set-aside recorded. Small business set-asides account for a small portion of the market: 1,118 SBA awards, 276 8(a) awards, and 73 SDVOSBC awards.

The market shows significant opportunity but requires scale. The median award of $33.1K suggests many small contracts, yet the total spending of $24.55B across 40,550 awards indicates substantial aggregate volume. With 1,243 distinct vendors competing for these contracts, a firm entering this space should expect moderate competition at the median level but intense competition for larger awards. The top six buyers control a substantial share of spending, so winning with any of them could anchor a business development strategy.

Watch the 453 contracts ending within 12 months worth $731.59M. These represent immediate recompete opportunities. The 10 active notices currently posted signal near-term procurement activity. DLA Energy and the Army contracting offices at 0409 AQ HQ and 0411 AQ HQ are the buyers to track most closely given their spending levels. Small business set-asides remain limited in this code, so firms should prepare for full and open competition.
