The Northwest Arctic Borough (NAB) is seeking a qualified vendor to supply, ship, and container‑ize 1,680 kW of bifacial, monocrystalline solar photovoltaic (PV) modules for three remote Alaskan villages (Ambler, Kiana, and Noorvik). The modules must meet strict technical specifications, be delivered to the AML Seattle barge terminal, and be organized into community‑specific containers for onward transport to Alaska. The contract also requires compliance certifications under the Buy America Build America Act (BABA), Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC), and Domestic‑Content statutes, and mandates title transfer to the Borough within 105 days of purchase. Timelines are tight: purchase must occur by July 4 2026, with full containerization completed by July 19 2026 to earn timeline points. • Provide 1,680 kW of BABA‑compliant bifacial monocrystalline PV modules (≥ 20 % efficiency, UL/IEC‑certified, 25‑yr power warranty). • Arrange shipping to AML Seattle terminal and separate the modules into three community‑specific containers, completing containerization by July 19 2026. • Deliver compliance documentation (BABA, FEOC, Domestic‑Content) and ensure legal title transfer to NAB within 105 days of purchase. • If containerization is delayed, submit storage‑pricing options for containers until June 15 2027. • Award is announced May 1 2026; installation of the solar‑battery systems is planned for spring 2027.
