What this NAICS covers

NAICS 221118 covers electric power generation activities not covered by a more specific category, including operating generating units, fuel handling, plant control, auxiliary systems, and monitoring to produce and deliver electricity to the grid or local distribution.

Federal opportunities under 221118 typically involve securing generation capacity or backup power services, including plant operation, round-the-clock staffing, fuel supply coordination, performance monitoring, maintenance oversight, environmental compliance documentation, and reliable delivery of electrical energy for mission continuity.

FAQ

What work fits NAICS 221118?
  • Operate a biomass electric generation facility with feedstock receiving, boiler or turbine operation, ash handling, emissions monitoring, and meter-based output reporting.
  • Operate a waste-to-energy generation unit where refuse-derived fuel handling, plant controls, generator maintenance, and environmental reporting support electricity production.
  • Provide operations and maintenance for fuel-cell generation assets, including fuel supply coordination, stack monitoring, electrical output reporting, and scheduled service records.
  • Operate other non-solar, non-wind, non-geothermal generating units with start-up procedures, dispatch coordination, plant logs, outage reporting, and metered power delivery.
When is NAICS 221118 a weak fit?
  • Solar, wind, geothermal, hydroelectric, nuclear, or fossil-fuel generation fits more specific electric power generation categories when those generation sources define the facility.
  • Transmission and distribution construction or maintenance focuses on high-voltage lines, substations, and pole work rather than operating generation assets.
  • Energy consulting, retail electricity supply, billing, or energy commodity trading lacks plant operation, metered physical generation, and generation-unit performance responsibility.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 221118?
  • Performance requirements specify sustained megawatt output, plant availability percentage, start/stop limits, and fuel consumption or heat rate metrics.
  • SOW requires on-site licensed plant operators, turbine or inverter technicians, and certified electricians plus qualifications for generator protection relay testing.
  • Deliverables include hourly generation logs, SCADA data exports, emissions monitoring reports, and interconnection test reports tied to delivered megawatt-hours.
