Quick Summary

The Department of the Army (W6QM MICC-FT IRWIN) is soliciting proposals for the lease of a commercial, portable solar generator to support critical operations at Bicycle Lake Army Airfield (BLAAF), Fort Irwin, California. This requirement is a Total Small Business Set-Aside and seeks a turn-key power solution for a 12-month period. Responses are due April 13, 2026.

Scope of Work

The opportunity requires the leasing of one commercial, portable solar generator capable of delivering a minimum continuous power output of 10kW. The unit must include an integrated propane-fueled secondary power source to ensure 100% operational continuity, especially during low solar generation or primary system failure. The equipment must be environmentally hardened to withstand extreme heat, abrasive sand, and high winds prevalent in the Mojave Desert. The contractor will be fully responsible for all maintenance, servicing, and repairs to ensure maximum uptime throughout the lease period. This is a service for a power solution, not a product purchase.
