EMCOR Energy Services was awarded a nationwide Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to provide comprehensive energy services for the General Services Administration in March of 2010. EMCOR Energy Services was one of 19 organizations to be awarded a BPA by the GSA, one of the world's largest building managers. The services of EMCOR Energy Services, including energy management, planning, and commissioning, may now be contracted under a BPA, which provides a simplified means for federal agencies to acquire comprehensive professional energy services to make their properties more energy efficient. Using BPAs, federal agencies can save time and money by reducing the administrative burden of contract management, thereby being able to undertake building optimization and energy efficiency projects faster. Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, the government earmarked funds to enable federal agencies to pursue green initiatives in compliance with the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA), Executive Order 13423, and the Federal Leadership in High Performance and Sustainable Buildings Memorandum of Understanding (2006). The GSA designed the Comprehensive Energy Services BPA to assist federal agencies in meeting the standards set forth, converting the government’s portfolio of facilities into high performance green buildings.
