The Fish and Wildlife Service awarded a purchase order to Ready Power, L.L.C. for $299,500 on September 23, 2026, for generator and automatic transfer switch replacement at Allegheny National Fish Hatchery under a Total Small Business set-aside. Work is performed in Warren, Pennsylvania. The scope requires removal of an existing 675 kW Caterpillar diesel generator and installation of a new 500 kW Caterpillar diesel standby generator on the same concrete pad, plus installation of a new automatic transfer switch. The specification reflects a sole-source justification based on local CAT service provider availability; competing manufacturers' certified providers are two to three hours away, creating unacceptable emergency response delays for a facility dependent on electrically powered groundwater wells. Work must commence within 10 calendar days of Notice to Proceed and is limited to sunrise-to-sunset, Monday through Friday. Davis-Bacon wage determinations apply. Ultimate completion date is October 3, 2027.
