RSA Primary Substation 4 - Notice of Intent (NOI)

e U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Directorate of Contracting, is conducting a market survey to identify sources for Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL) substation relay and control equipment. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District, anticipates a future procurement for the Redstone Substation (Primary 4) Project located at Redstone Arsenal, AL. The project includes high voltage electrical power transmission lines and a new high voltage Primary Substation. The Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL) equipment for the substation work includes Overcurrent Protection Relays, Current Differential Relays, Bus differential and Breaker Failure Relay, Transformer Protection Relay, Power Revenue Meter, along with ancillary equipment. Application of SEL equipment is essential to meeting Government�s requirements, thereby precluding consideration of another product. There are twenty-three existing substations on Redstone Arsenal that all use SEL equipment. The SEL equipment is required to maintain compatibility and maintainability within the existing power grid system. SEL equipment is required for this project to integrate the expansion the new Primary Substation into the existing electrical SCADA system. It would be detrimental to Redstone Arsenal�s power system and jeopardize the system�s ability to operate if SEL equipment is not installed. This request is not a request to be placed on a solicitation mailing list. It is for information only and is not a request for proposal (RFP) or announcement of a solicitation. The purpose of this Sources Sought request is to obtain sources for the SEL equipment to meet the above requirements. If no other sources exist that can meet these requirements, then it is the Government�s intent to specify the Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories Brand Name for development of the substation design for use in the Redstone Infrastructure Project solicitation. Firms interested in being considered shall provide manufacturer's name, product data, and written statement of compliance with stated requirements. The written statement of compliance shall include necessary backup design information and supporting documentation. A list of projects in which the equipment has met similar requirements for similar applications shall be provided. The list shall include the exact location of project(s) and a point of contact with phone numbers. The Government will not pay for any material provided in response to this notice nor return the data provided. Responses should be emailed to the contacts identified in SAM.gov no later than 5:00 PM CST, 20 December 2024. No other forms of transmission are requested or will be accepted.
