SPECIFICATIONS 1.0 BACKGROUND: The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) is a water management agency overseeing 600 dams in 17 western states. Renowned for constructing dams, power plants, and canals, notable projects include Hoover Dam on the Colorado River, Grand Coulee Dam on the Columbia River, and Folsom Dam on the American River. Reclamation is the largest wholesaler of water in the United States and the second-largest producer of hydroelectric power in the western U.S., organized into �ve regions, including the Upper Colorado Basin (UCB). 2.0 INTRODUCTION: The UCB Region plans to install a real time controller to perform powerplant sequence of event functions. Sequence of Event Recorder (SER) systems provide a time-tagged sequenced record of events to aid in identifying and diagnosing power plant events. This procurement is for the acquisition of real time controllers and ancillary equipment required for a complete SER system. The speci�cation and system design is based on the SEL-Axion 2240 platform including the SEL- 2241 Real-Time Automation Controller (RTAC) and other SEL-Axion modules. Equivalent products that meet or exceed the speci�ed requirements will be considered. 3.0 REQUIREMENTS: 3.1 Environmental Durability � Operating temperature range: -40C to + 85C � Humidity tolerance: 5% to 95% non-condensing � Vibration resistance compliant with IEEE 1613 standards 3.2 Time Synchronization � High-precision timestamping with accuracy of 0.001 seconds (1 millisecond) � Support for IRIG-B, NTP, and PTP (IEEE 1588) 3.3 Protocol Support � Support for DNP3, Modbus, EtherCAT, and other industry-standard protocols. � Support for SEL ASCII, SEL Binary, and SEL Fast SER Protocol. 3.4 Modular Design � Modular design allowing for easy expansion and hot-swappable modules. � Each chassis must support a minimum of 10 slots or capable of daisy chaining multiple modules to support the total number of plant status inputs. 3.5 Cybersecurity � Built-in cybersecurity features including role-based access control, encrypted communications, and secure boot processes. � Compliance with NERC-CIP and FIPS 140-2 standards. 3.6 Integrated Web HMI � Integrated web-based HMI for monitoring � Customizable dashboards and user-friendly interface. 3.7 Event Recording � Automatic identification and time-tagging of input signal changes to the nearest 1 msec. � Capable of time stamping 100% of the samples within +/- 1 msec when synced to an IRIG-B signal. � High-resolution sequence of events recording with time-stamping accuracy of 1 msec. � Capable of operating on an ungrounded 125-V DC system � All inputs should be optically isolated and filtered for 125-V DC dry contact change of state scanning. � Support the export of event files in Microsoft Excel (.xlsx or .xls) file format. The exported data should contain all relevant event data, including timestamps, event types, and associated information. 3.8 Support and Warranty � Minimum 5-year warranty on all equipment. � Regular firmware and security updates. � Proven track record and customer references in similar applications 3.9 Additional Considerations � The proposed solution must integrate seamlessly with existing systems and infrastructure. � The solution must provide robust and reliable performance in a hydro power plant environment and electrical power system operations. 4.0 PRODUCTS: The following products are speci�ed as the basis for design and performance standards.

Value counts new single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling (same contract, or the same office, day and amount); that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Contract modifications are not new awards and are not added in either. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's revenue over the latest 12 months in its SEC filings.
- $EMR reported $18.6B revenue (12 months to Jun 30, 2026). The median single-winner award in these 5 past awards, $90K, is under 0.1% of that. SEC filing
One award's total value against one year of revenue; many awards are paid over several years.

Materiality: one award's value as a share of the winner's revenue over the latest 12 months in its SEC filings (or its last fiscal year, as noted when you point at it). Low under 1%, Medium 1 to 5%, High 5% or more. Many awards are paid over several years, so this overstates a single year's share.
