RFP for ENHANCED USE LEASE (“EUL”) OPPORTUNITY COMMERCIAL POWER GENERATION
Contact and place of performance

Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD
USA
The Department of the Army (“DA”) is issuing this Request for Proposals (“RFP” or “Solicitation”) to solicit competitive proposals from private, public and/or not-for-profit entities interested in leasing non-excess DA land (“Properties”) under a long-term lease agreement(s) (“Enhanced Use Lease” or “EUL”) at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Fort Detrick...
View morePursuant to its leasing authority codified at 10 U.S.C. § 2667 and provided as Attachment A, DA intends to execute an EUL(s) with a selected Offeror(s) (“Lessee”) for a term of fifty (50) years. DA may consider an option to renew the EUL for an additional period of time following expiration of the initial fifty (50) year term if proposed by the Offeror in its Proposal and as further described in Section 6.1.a. Consideration to be provided by the Lessee to DA for the EUL will be in-kind, cash, or a combination thereof in an amount not less than the fair market value of the lease interest as determined by an appraisal to be completed by DA.
The Lessee(s) under the EUL(s) will, in part (subject to the terms and conditions of the EUL), be authorized and responsible for financing, designing, developing, operating, securing, and maintaining the Project and shall be responsible for complying with all applicable federal, state and local laws, codes, ordinances and regulations, including building codes, as they may be amended from time to time. The Project(s) shall be viable without any commitment or contribution, monetary or otherwise, from DA. DA envisions that development of the Project(s) will entail a well-planned and coordinated endeavor to utilize the Properties in a manner that will not conflict with adjacent Installation ongoing mission-related activities or the surrounding community.
Offerors may propose a Project(s) on all or a portion of the Properties at any one or more of the Installations. DA may elect to select more than one Offeror for award and may consider multiple Projects. Offerors may submit proposals to develop a single tract or multiple tracts. Proposals must clearly identify the portion(s) and associated acreage(s) of the Properties proposed for lease by the Offeror.
This RFP may be amended or supplemented and all such amendments and supplements shall be considered part of this RFP (and references to the RFP shall include all amendments and supplements, unless otherwise specified). To receive any amendments or supplements to this RFP, Offerors will be required to refer to the RFP posting on sam.gov.
DA reserves the right, at any time, without notice, at its sole and absolute discretion, to (a) modify, update, supplement, revise, suspend, or waive any terms and conditions of this RFP; (b) independently waive any deficiency or irregularity in any proposal submitted where it is in the Government’s best interest to do so; (c) reject any or all proposals at any time prior to award; (d) extend any deadline set forth in this RFP; (e) cancel the RFP process, in whole or in part; (f) make an award or awards as a result of initial proposals submitted; (g) discuss any submission with the Offeror that submitted it and require the submission of additional information regarding any aspect of the Offeror’s proposal; (h) make award to an Offeror who submits a proposal that is not the proposal that would provide DA with the highest value in terms of consideration to be paid under the EUL; (i) make an award to more than one Offeror if the Properties proposed for lease by said Offerors do not conflict; and (j) initiate further discussions or negotiations directly with the Offeror(s) (after DA selects it for award), if DA believes that the amount of consideration offered for the EUL in the Offeror’s proposal warrants further refinement or enhancement.
DA’s objective for this RFP and the Project(s) is to maximize the financial return to DA through the lease of non-excess available land on the Installations and secure ready and resilient power vital to DA operations.

Site specific information includes the location of the Properties on the Installations, former and current use, environmental considerations as currently known, utilities, and jurisdictional status.

General Questions
Q1. The solicitation indicates that three installation site visits will be conducted. Could you please confirm the dates, times, and locations for each site visit, as well as any registration or access.
A1. The reerence to three installation site visits was an unintentional oversight and has been removed from the RFP.
The Department of the Army, through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Omaha District, is soliciting proposals for an Enhanced Use Lease opportunity to develop commercial power generation facilities at several military installations. This initiative involves leasing non-excess land at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Fort Detrick, Fort Drum, Letterkenny Army Depot, Picatinny Arsenal, Tobyhanna Army Depot, and the West Point Military Reservation. The selected entities will be responsible for the full lifecycle of the project, including financing, designing, constructing, operating, and decommissioning power generation facilities using natural gas, geothermal, solar, or nuclear energy, with nuclear units limited to 500 megawatts each. The primary objectives are to maximize financial returns through lease payments and to secure energy resilience for mission readiness during grid outages exceeding four hours.
The government intends to execute one or more long-term leases for an initial 50-year term, with potential renewal options. Proposed projects must be viable without any financial contribution from the Army, and all power generated during normal operations is expected to be sold to third-party off-takers identified by the lessee. Consideration for the lease must meet or exceed the fair market value and may be provided in cash, in-kind services, or a combination of both. This solicitation is identified under NAICS code 221118 for Other Electric Power Generation and PSC X1PC for Lease/Rental of Unimproved Real Property (Land).
Formal proposals are due by June 29, 2026, under solicitation number DACA27-9-26-0042200. The place of performance is centered at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, though properties are available across all seven identified installations. Documentation supporting this request includes 15 attachments, such as revised RFP documents, site-specific information for the installations, and question-and-answer sets. Sarah Alexander serves as the point of contact for this notice. Under its leasing authority, the Army reserves the right to select multiple offerors or reject any proposals to ensure the resulting projects do not conflict with installation missions or the surrounding communities.
