These Relevant Opportunities Are Valued in the Hundreds of Millions of Dollars

Newport Beach, CA, Sept. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bimergen Energy Corporation (NYSE:BESS), a developer, owner, and operator of utility-scale and distributed battery energy storage systems, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Emergen Energy, LLC, has completed its System for Award Management (SAM.gov) registration and received its Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code 23R51. Emergen’s registration is active for "All Awards," establishing the registration foundation to compete for federal contracts and pursue eligible federal assistance opportunities, subject to individual solicitation and program requirements.

The milestone supports Bimergen’s strategy of expanding the commercial reach of its energy storage development capabilities and building relationships that advance energy infrastructure projects. With an active federal registration, Emergen is positioned to pursue opportunities with government agencies and explore collaboration with prime contractors and other industry partners.

Assigned by the Defense Logistics Agency, the CAGE code identifies Emergen within federal procurement systems. The combination of active SAM.gov registration and CAGE code assignment completes a foundational step in the Company’s preparation to participate in the federal marketplace.

"Completing our federal registration is a meaningful step in expanding the opportunities available to Bimergen," said Cole Johnson, Co-CEO of Bimergen Energy. "Our focus is on developing energy storage infrastructure that strengthens grid reliability and delivers flexible power when needed. We now have the registration foundation to pursue federal opportunities aligned with those capabilities and build relationships with government customers and industry partners."

Bimergen’s growth strategy combines battery energy storage development with technology and capital partnerships designed to advance projects toward construction and operation. Participation in the federal marketplace offers a potential additional customer channel that complements the Company’s activities across U.S. power markets and its focus on reliable, resilient energy infrastructure.

"Our strategy is to convert development capabilities and strong partnerships into long-term shareholder value," said Bob Brilon, Co-CEO of Bimergen Energy. "Active SAM.gov registration broadens the opportunities related to hundreds of millions of government contract dollars that we can pursue as we grow our business. We see federal contracting as a potential extension of our commercial strategy, with an emphasis on opportunities that fit our capabilities and support disciplined growth."

The registration milestone builds on Bimergen’s ongoing efforts to expand its market presence, advance its energy storage portfolio, and establish partnerships that support project execution. The Company remains focused on matching development opportunities with the technology, capital, and operational resources needed to create lasting value.
