Huntsville Center commander colonel Robert Ruch said: "Huntsville Center is doing everything we can to ensure task orders for future projects will be awarded as quickly as possible."

EITF executive director Amanda Simpson said: "Currently, we are working projects and expect to deliver a task order in the next several months."

The indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) MATOC contracts will be used for the acquisition of reliable, locally generated, renewable and alternative energy through power purchase agreements (PPA) over the next 30 years.

Through the contracts, the army moves closer to meeting the US Congress-mandated energy goal of 25% production and consumption of energy from renewable sources by 2025, while also enhancing the installation energy security and sustainability.
