This is a firm fixed price purchase order awarded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Mobile District to Doble Engineering Company, a subsidiary of Esco Technologies Inc. The contract is for the rental of a Doble M4000 Test Set, which is specialized power diagnostic equipment used to test various electrical components and systems. The contract has a ceiling value of $97,280.00 and a period of performance from May 1, 2016 to April 30, 2019.
The original solicitation was a special notice that was not competed, as the government determined Doble Engineering Company was the sole source capable of providing the required equipment. The test set will be used by the USACE Hydropower Test Unit at West Point, Georgia to support maintenance of hydroelectric power projects. While the contract was not set aside, Doble Engineering Company has previously received federal contracts both as a prime and subcontractor, including several Indefinite Delivery Vehicles with agencies like the Bureau of Reclamation and Western Area Power Administration for specialized power testing and monitoring equipment and services.
