Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent based on prior NAVFAC worldwide IDIQ utilities A-E services awarded under N6247021D0005 to Utility Works A Joint Venture (approximately $107.4M, 02/10/21–05/09/26). The scope of that contract includes utility engineering and management support—covering electrical utility studies, infrastructure assessments, SCADA-related work, and related planning—which aligns with the current IDIQ’s electrical utility and facility AE services such as master planning, field testing/studies, and electrical controls/cybersecurity support. A related task order under the same contract (N6247021D0005-N6247025F0030) for a Marine Corps electrical utility master plan study at Quantico further indicates continuity in electrical master planning work.
