About this award
The Western Area Power Administration (WAPA), a civilian agency within the Department of Energy, awarded a $175,289 firm fixed-price purchase order to Bell Lumber & Pole Co for the supply of Douglas fir wood utility poles to support WAPA's Sierra Nevada Region operations. The contract, awarded on September 18, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of September 17, 2025, fulfills WAPA's requirement for wooden utility poles to maintain and expand the power transmission infrastructure serving the western United States. Bell Lumber & Pole Co, a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation specializing in manufacturing wooden utility poles and custom wooden components, was selected based on its demonstrated capability and experience supplying similar products to federal agencies. The contract carries no set-aside designation and is structured as a firm fixed-price arrangement with manufacturing and delivery to occur at the contractor's facility in Mounds View, Minnesota.
The award culminated from a pre-solicitation Request for Information issued by WAPA on July 22, 2024, which sought market research on the availability of qualified suppliers for wooden utility poles. The initial solicitation contemplated a base requirement of 69 poles with an optional additional 22 poles; the executed purchase order reflects the base quantity requirement. This procurement supports WAPA's critical mission of generating, transmitting, and distributing hydroelectric and other renewable power resources across the western region, with wooden utility poles serving as essential infrastructure components for power transmission systems.
