Key Facts
- Contract Value: $2 billion

The Contract
Parsons is one of 14 firms pre-qualified to compete for individual task orders under the MATOC. This contract supports the U.S. Department of War’s Energy Resilience and Conservation Investment Program (ERCIP). Task orders will fund design-build services for ERCIP projects, encompassing microgrids, on-site generation, battery energy storage, distribution upgrades, cyber-secure controls, and grid-disruption hardening. The Department of War’s MILCON budget justification states that ERCIP funding for fiscal year 2026 totals $684.3 million for 14 named projects, plus $38.7 million in design funding, totaling $723.0 million for the program in FY26. The MATOC structure allows the Corps to issue individual task orders to the pre-qualified pool, streamlining procurement compared to open competition for each project.Why It Matters
The U.S. Department of War’s FY26 ERCIP projects include energy system upgrades at Fort Bragg, North Carolina; White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico; and Cape Cod Space Force Station, Massachusetts. A separate FY26 ERCIP project at an Armed Forces Reserve Center in Mountain View, California, pairs diesel backup with a ground-mounted photovoltaic array, battery energy storage, microgrid controls, electrical distribution upgrades, and a closed secure network. That task order was planned for a March 2026 award with completion targeted for May 2028. Overseas FY26 ERCIP work is planned in Guam, Germany, and Japan. The MATOC will fund future ERCIP task orders. Previous ERCIP projects funded through other contract vehicles include microgrid projects at Fort Hunter Liggett, California ($21.6 million, completed); Fort Stewart-Hunter Army Airfield, Georgia ($54.3 million, awarded January 2026); and Fort Bliss, Texas ($58 million, 15 MW of distributed energy resources plus 8 MW of battery storage, operating).Critical Perspective
USACE has not disclosed the cap on any single task order, the maximum task order frequency, or whether classified facilities are included in the MATOC scope. The identities of the other 13 contractors pre-qualified for the MATOC have not been publicly disclosed by USACE Louisville. Parsons has not provided guidance on the expected revenue contribution from this contract for fiscal 2026 or 2027.Related Coverage
