Open Energy & Environment RFPs (256 live)

This category gathers three related markets: utilities (NAICS 22), waste management and environmental remediation (562), and mining-adjacent work (21). The remediation side is the deepest: the Department of Energy's cleanup program at sites like Hanford and Savannah River, the Corps of Engineers' environmental restoration portfolio, and EPA-driven work generate engineering, sampling, hazardous-waste, and construction-adjacent demand continuously. The utilities side includes privatized utility operations on installations, energy-savings projects, and power purchases, while waste contracts, refuse, recycling, hazardous pickup, run at nearly every federal facility.

Bidders should expect technical-qualification gates: environmental work often requires certifications, licensed personnel, and demonstrated regulatory experience, and the serious remediation programs run through both direct solicitations and site-contractor subcontracts. Response windows are moderate to long, three to six weeks for services, longer for major remediation. Seasonality shows up in fieldwork: sampling and restoration cluster in warm months, and the land agencies' environmental services follow the same spring surge as their construction.
