WASHINGTON, DC – GSA awarded new Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs), which will make it easier for federal customers to buy the EVSE needed as they work to electrify the federal fleet. The agency made awards to 16 successful offerors, nine of which are small businesses.
“This is just one example of our dedication to streamlining the procurement process for federal agencies looking to acquire charging stations,” said Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) Commissioner Sonny Hashmi.
As federal customers electrify their vehicle fleets, these innovative BPAs will allow them to get everything they need at GSA — including over 1,165 EVSE products (which are awarded across more than 30 unique EVSE manufactured brands):
- Level 1 stations
- Level 2 stations
- DC Fast charging stations
- Solar/off-grid
- Portable
- Site planning & EVSE ancillary services to include consulting and project management
- Power management & metering
- Network plans & data packages
- Operation, repair & maintenance plans
- Other charging types or non-conventional solutions
- Accessories
To help agencies with installation, GSA’s Public Buildings Service (PBS) will award a supporting Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract for general construction including design/build services in the near future. PBS can authorize its construction contractors to purchase EV equipment directly from the FAS EVSE BPAs. All products and ordering resources will be posted on gsa.gov/evse over the coming weeks.
The Biden-Harris administration is working to transition the entire federal fleet to zero-emission vehicles, with targets of 100% zero-emission vehicle acquisitions by 2035 and 100% zero-emission light-duty vehicle acquisitions by the end of fiscal year 2027. The President’s proposed budget for FY23 includes $300 million for GSA and $457 million for other agencies to help facilitate the Administration’s goal to adopt electric vehicles by building charging infrastructure, purchasing electric vehicles, and consolidating existing conventionally-fueled vehicles into the GSA leased fleet.
