The Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) released a solicitation on January 4, 2024, seeking proposals for demonstrations of innovative environmental and installation energy technologies as candidates for funding beginning in FY 2025. The solicitation requests pre-proposals via Calls for Proposals to Federal organizations and via a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for Private Sector organizations. Pre-proposals are due March 7, 2024 by 2 p.m. ET.
ESTCP supports the demonstration of technologies that address priority DoD environmental and installation energy requirements. The goal of ESTCP is to promote the transfer of innovative technologies through demonstrations that collect the data needed for regulatory and DoD end-user acceptance. Projects conduct formal demonstrations at DoD facilities and sites in operational settings to document and validate improved performance and cost savings.
Detailed instructions are on the ESTCP website.
DoD organizations (Service and Defense Agencies) may submit pre-proposals for demonstrations of innovative technologies in the following topic areas:
- Environmental Restoration
- Resource Conservation and Resilience
- Weapons Systems and Platforms
- Analysis of Material and Non-Material Heat Island Resilience Solutions
- Acquisition, Operation, and Sustainment of DoD-owned Microgrids
- Efficient Building HVAC and Water Heating Systems
- Energy Resilience on DoD Installations
- Water Infrastructure Mapping and Composition
- Innovative Solutions to Improve Building Energy Efficiency and Performance
- Scalable Design for Deep Energy Retrofits
- Solutions to Support Heat Pump and Heat Pump Water Heater Deployment
- Technology Demonstrations to Accelerate Deployment of Energy and Water Efficiency and Resilience Solutions
- Water Resilience on DoD Installations
- Munitions Response in Underwater Environments
