The U.S. Forest Service is issuing a Notice of Opportunity (NOO) (Solicitation # 12318726R4000) for an Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC) task order at its Forest Products Laboratory campus in Madison, Wisconsin (buildings 1, 33, 34, 50). Only prime contractors holding the Department of Energy’s Fourth‑Generation ESPC indefinite‑delivery, indefinite‑quantity (IDIQ) contract may submit an expression of interest; subcontractor responses will not be accepted. The award will cover an investment‑grade audit, design and construction of energy‑ and water‑conservation measures (ECMs) consistent with the facility characteristics, and ongoing performance verification through annual measurement‑and‑verification reporting. Respondents must demonstrate technical competencies and experience on up to five comparable ESPC projects, including documented energy/water savings, financial incentives applied, and relevance to the Forest Service objectives. Key evaluation factors focus on the ESCO’s ability to (a) conduct a rigorous audit that establishes baselines and viable ECMs, (b) design and implement the required measures, and (c) deliver sustained savings with documented performance. Submissions must include detailed past‑performance information, adjectival ratings, and a narrative on strengths, weaknesses, or deficiencies. The NAICS code is 541330. Point of contact: Cassandra Carey, Contracting Officer, US Forest Service (email cassandra.carey@usda.gov; phone 202‑617‑8490).
