Purchase Order 89503425PWA002132

The U.S. Department of Energy's Western Area Power Administration (WAPA) awarded a $87,867 firm fixed-price purchase order to Gocrafts LLC, an SBA-certified Women-Owned Small Business, for the procurement and delivery of three station service transformers designated for North Dakota power infrastructure. The contract, awarded on September 18, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of February 23, 2026, is designated as a total small business set-aside. The transformer package includes two single-phase 50kVA units for the Washburn and Killdeer locations and one three-phase 300kVA padmount transformer, all engineered to specific technical requirements including primary voltages of 43.8kV and 13.2kV respectively. The transformers must be new units with electrical-grade mineral oil insulation, ANSI 70 gray paint, and include standard accessories such as liquid temperature gauges, drain valves, and pressure relief devices.

Delivery will be coordinated to the Western Area Power Administration facility in Bismarck, North Dakota, with installation ultimately occurring at the Washburn, Killdeer, and North Dakota Maintenance Office locations. All units are required to include a two-year warranty and meet the detailed technical specifications outlined in the solicitation. WAPA, which operates as the civilian power marketing administration within the Department of Energy, manages hydroelectric and other federal power projects across the western United States, and this procurement supports infrastructure maintenance and operational requirements within that portfolio. The work will be performed in Houston, Texas, with performance of work and coordination required at least seven days prior to shipment.
