# DOE Advances New York Constitution Pipeline

On October 19, 2026, the U.S. Department of Energy announced up to $42 million in Defense Production Act Title III funding for pre-construction and permitting work on the proposed 125-mile Constitution Pipeline, which would carry natural gas from Pennsylvania to New York. Eligible activities include environmental reviews, engineering, site preparation, and regulatory approvals. The announcement does not identify a solicitation, contract number, procurement schedule, or funding recipient details, so the funding signals potential project work rather than an open direct procurement opportunity.

- Engineering, environmental review, site-preparation, and permitting firms may assess potential subcontracting opportunities connected to the project and its developer, Williams Cos.
- The funding is intended to advance pre-construction work; companies should distinguish this project funding from a published solicitation or confirmed contract award.
- The pipeline would cross Pennsylvania and New York, making firms with capabilities relevant to those states’ project and regulatory work potential participants in downstream opportunities.
